Re: flame resistant material

My daughter wore a robe she got for Christmas before washing it and it was

flame resistant. Now she has a rash all over her body, could the robe cause

this?

It could very much be it or did she eat something different than usual?

I remember reading something about how to wash it to get rid of the chemicals.

If anyone knows what to use, pls let me know. No, she did not eat anything

different. I think it must be the robe.

This is how you get rid of flame retardents from clothes:

By washing the clothes atleast 5 times with Washing soda(Arm and

Hammer brand). You can also add vinegar.

Please note it is washing soda and not baking soda.

We got Washing soda from Nob Hill. I think Safeway also carries it.

Hi,

 

From what I've heard besides the flame-proofing there could also be insecticide

on it, among other things (used so the item doesn't get eaten before it gets to

the store from wherever it's made). My brother used to be sensitive to what my

mom called the 'sizing' (stiffening agents) used on clothing back when

everything was made here in the USA, so everything he wore had to be washed

before wearing.

 

Hope this helps.

is right. It is better to wash new clothing before wearing.

Think about where all it was before you got it. So many people int he

store would have touched it, it would have fallen so many times off

the rack, someone would have stamped it... always best to wear new

clothes before wearing them.
