I am chemically sensitive, so I am more vigilant than most would need to be, but

without knowing what is in a fabric, I personally wouldn't use it.

I soak any fabric in baking soda, peroxide and hot water for about a week, changing the water daily, then I give it two or three good actual washings, then air dry it outside for a day, then wash it one more time (or until there is no longer a detectable scent to it, which would largely not be detectable to most, but those of us with chemical sensitivity issues can smell it a mile off, lol) Sent from my iPadOn Mar 17, 2012, at 4:47 PM, Velda <solomon@...> wrote:

I am no where near as sensitive as you are, but I do smell stuff

which husband says is not "smelly". For instance, he insists he

dilutes his cologne/after shave with water before applying , yet I

can smell it in the next room and at times it sets my asthma off a

bit. On the other hand, he can tell what herbs/spices I have put in

by sniffing the pot and he has a much better nose/feel for how much

needed for cooking than I.

Your method looks good. I will keep it for reference. Do you do the

same to your clothes when you buy them? Do you mostly wear cotton? I

love and prefer cotton, but have not gone to any length to multiple

wash before wearing.

Thanks for the info. It is important, esp for fabric touching food

we will consume, such as juicing with the VM.
