Re: Re: More Mold now PLEASE HELP GOING CRAZY! -decontaminating

That is good to know. A liter is quite a bit, probably enough for many loads..

The fleece jackets were very expensive..(~$200ish) birthday gifts to

each other..

very high tech, and very light and warm, didn't want to lose that..

We have lots of fleece items.

They were the worst because they were often out on the open, they got

worn a lot.

They are okay now.. but its taken two years of many washings, which has also

hurt the jackets somewhat.
