Is it safe to wash a rag used with Clorox Bleach with my other clothes?

When I clean, I use Clorox Bleach Clean-Up along with a rag (instead of paper towels). Can I put that rag in the washer with my other clothes/towels or will it ruin them?Is it safe to wash a rag used with Clorox Bleach with my other clothes?
I rinse out my rags really good. Let them air dry. Then wash them with my dish towels and rags, which I use bleach with anyway.Is it safe to wash a rag used with Clorox Bleach with my other clothes?
It can possibly ruin dark clothes, jeans and reds........It would be fine to put in with other cleaning towels and can actually refresh bath towels..........My advise- put it in a load with nothing you find very important and Happy Cleaning!
NO please don't. It will possibly ruin any colors. I do the same but I throw mine in with whites or towels that I do not care about.
rinse it out really well in the sink first

Blue dye ran from a pair of pants during the wash, and left blotchy stains all over my other clothes. Help?

The clothes were washed in cold water. The blue dye ran from a pair of cotton pants, and stained the rest of my clothes, most of which were light in colour. I've washed them a second time, minus the pants, with extra liquid soap and bleach, with no change.Blue dye ran from a pair of pants during the wash, and left blotchy stains all over my other clothes. Help?
Do not put the stained items into the dryer( it will permanently set the dye) . Get a bottle of Rit Dye remover, it may strip more of the base color of the garment, but it is better than no hope. Follow the directions on the bottle or package. It come in liquid and a powder.


Most large grocery stores have it , or Walmart.Blue dye ran from a pair of pants during the wash, and left blotchy stains all over my other clothes. Help?
What you need is a resident dye stripper. You can find it at most grocery stores near the chlorine and other wash products. You just soak your clothes in it and it removes dye that is not mordant set. You might inquire about resident dye stripper at your dry cleaners.
You can buy a specific product for dye that has run into other clothes. I cant remember the correct name of it, but it is made by a brand called Dylon. I know there are other brands that make a similar product also. It removes the dye that has run.

What is the best way (without washing) to remove B.O. from clothing?

I don't have access to a washer right now (no $ for machine and no washer in the shelter). How can i get the BO out of my clothes?What is the best way (without washing) to remove B.O. from clothing?
Spraying dirty underarms on clothing with anything will only maginfy the odor! The only remedy for B.O. in fabric is washing the clothing in soap, detergent. You can pick up cans to get enough money to buy a bottle of laundry detergent. Also I would bathe more often. Soap is cheap and there are sinks with running water everywhere. Wash up each day and use deodorant.What is the best way (without washing) to remove B.O. from clothing?
Hand wash in your tub even with shmpoo if you don't have detergeant and then hang them in the sun to dry and let the sun kill any bacteria.
Buy a small laundry detergent at a dollar store (they are everywhere now) and a small box of baking soda You will only spend about $2 and change.





Mix a little bit of the baking soda (about a teasponfull) and a little bit of the detergent, place in a plastic pail with enough water to cover your clothing item.





Leave overnight, next day rinse your clothing with clean water, wring out and air dry. The baking soda is the one that takes takes out the smell. Best of luck!
Take a shower or bath with your clothes on. Use shampoo and soap. Hang outside to dry.
Get a cheap bottle of liquid detergent and hand wash and hang dry. REally no other way to get rid of it. Also, get Arm %26amp; Hammer deodorant. This is the best one I have ever tried. I worked in a kitchen in the summers that got up to 120 degrees, and I NEVER smelled like BO.
Spray them with some body spray and hang out side to air out. Good luck! :)
Best would be a coin laundry. If thats not an option handwash using any detergent available. If you cant do that either then a spray like Fabreeze (?) might work. You need something that will kill bacteria rather than just overpower the smell.
You could try some Febreze.
febreeze
there has to be a wal-mart around (they are EVERYWHERE)-use their bathroom. Some people have used the toilet as a washer, I know it sounds ';gross'; but if it's cleaned and the water is clean-no problem. Use the hand soap that's in there. You can use the sink to wash up too.








Fox urine is what deer hunters use- it kills the worst B.O but then you'll have a different kind of problem.

Is it okay to put oxiclean stain remover on spots on my clothes and then wait a whole day to wash them ?

Its not a stain stick, its what you put on the spots right before you wash them !Is it okay to put oxiclean stain remover on spots on my clothes and then wait a whole day to wash them ?
if you're talking about the powder, make sure you thoroughly dissolve it in very hot water, or the granules can ';burn'; holes in your clothes. then it's ok to let it soak for a day. if it's a liquid, you can wait until laundry day after treating.Is it okay to put oxiclean stain remover on spots on my clothes and then wait a whole day to wash them ?

How do you wash bed sheets, towels and clothes?

I need kind of a guide for washing bedsheets, towels and clothes...


I just had a party without mum knowing and i neally pulled it off but she seen all the dirty washing in the washing basket so i need help on how much washing powder to put in there, what colours go with what etc etc...


ThanksHow do you wash bed sheets, towels and clothes?
May not help, but here's how I do it...





Sheets and pillow cases are washed cold/cold on the high capacity setting with regular detergant and oxy-clean. in the dryer, two sheets of bounce for extra comfyness.





Comforter, wash on delicate with half the detergant for an oversized load, and cold/cold (all my bedding is black)





As far as cloths, if they're colors that have been washed at least three times, pretty safe bet they won't bleed, I wash them warm/warm with everything else, a second of liquid arm and hammer, then two dryer sheets. If it's newer colored cloths... just don't wash them with whites. If you like yellow (I do) and you have enough yellow for at least half a load, wash yellow on it's own, warm warm untill you've done a couple of washes.





For women with lacy crap, you don't want to wash anything silk or delicate with jeans, as the jeans will destroy the lacy crap because it's corse enough to be like sadpaper to that stuff... guys need not worry, t-shirts and no-iron button down shirts are safe (unless you loose a button). When it comes to losing buttons, there's no science to sewing one back on... no one will knotice your pattern vice the factory, unless they really have no life, and who really cares about their attention to fasion anyway, the rest of us are out for sucess, and in the end, we'll more than likely make more moolah than the fashion nuts anyway.





If it's wool... dry clean.. wool is tricky because it's a animal fiber and animals have to be tipped and tackled with care... you just can't go all willy nilly with wool, so fail safe and dry clean. If you're a smoker, or around smokers, invest in some ceder hangers and blocks, and they'll help to abosorb smells (amazingly) and it will cut your dry cleaning bill in half. If you do find something wool to be a bit big, but you still want to wear it, run it through the washing machine, and dryer... it will shrink (had to do that with my military uniforms).





Hope that helped a bit.


How do you wash bed sheets, towels and clothes?
Add about a cup of white distilled vinegar to each load (along with the soap %26amp; clothes). The vinegar will act as a water softener and will also help to disolve and body fluids/oils so no stains get set when you dry them.





Also - don't put anything in the dryer that still has a stain on it - just put it back in the washer and run it through until the stain is gone.
Put the towels with just towels and the sheets with only sheet





Wash in whites- any light





Darks- black or dark blues etc





And colours





Anything that is really colourful will need to be hand washed seperately





And on the container of the washing powder it will tell u how much to put in
Light colors with light, dark with dark. Read the labels on everything to know the water temperature. Almost everything has washing instructions attached. Read the instructions on the laundry detergent to know how much to put in the washer.
Whites get washed in hot water, a little bleach and a cap full of detergent. Towels and such can get washed in warm water with a cap full of detergent. Dark colors like jeans or colored T shirts I wash in cold, with a cap of detergent.





Hope this helps!
Good luck getting away with it since a mother always know when something is up.








What happened at your party that you need to wash the sheets and towels?
Just make sure you put colors with colors. Ex. Whites with whites... colors with colors. To be safe just wash them in cold water in a large load if there is a lot of laundry.


Put a cap full of detergent with it.
Put them in a washing machine. Make sure you put the dark colored things together, and the lighter colored things together as well.
put all colours together unless new. put whites with whites 1 cup of powder in before you put clothes in.. towels with towels but not to many in a load or your washing machine will stress coz of the weight and sheets with sheets
WASHING MACHINE
first put sheets in all together with one scoop put it on the water save setting

Colour has run in my wash. Is there anyway to restore my clothes to thier original colour?

Something red or pink ran in my washing yesterday. I have some underwear and a couple of tops that are now pink, they were once white. Is there anyway or getting the red/pink dye out or are they ruined? They all have other colours on them so I assume I can't bleach them.Colour has run in my wash. Is there anyway to restore my clothes to thier original colour?
Everything that is white can be bleached even though there may be some other colors on them as long as you do not use too much bleach. Follow directions on the bleach bottle for the size of the wash load. Use cold water and bleach. Do not put the clothes in the washer until these have mixed so you don't get holes in your clothes. Once the washer has filled to where you need it, let it start to mix the bleach and water together then add the clothes and let them sit for about a half hour then finish running the wash cycle. Hopefully the colors will come out, if not do it again, but do not dry the clothes in the dryer before bleaching them the second time as that will set the color even more. You can also add some white vinegar to the water, about a cup.


Good Luck.Colour has run in my wash. Is there anyway to restore my clothes to thier original colour?
I can't remember the full name, but it is called Oxy something, I hear it works
yes its called Rescue you can get it at any supermarket you can find it on the wash powder section.
You can use bleach if you use a very mild concentration, approx. 1/4 cup per large load.
IF THEY ARE WHITE JUST USE A CUP OF CLOROX IN A FULL TUB WASHER AND LET THE SOAK. THEN WASH WITH TIDE.
they have things in your supermarket called keep it white they get all the crap out of your clothes
You can by stuff from the supermarket, but you have to use it straight away before the clothes dry or it won't work as the colour will have set.
There is also a product called the shout stain catcher, avail. at any store. You can also use it any time you wash to prevent colors from transferring.

Can I wash these clothes together?

My son has some new school clothes, he's worn them and now it's time for them to be washed.


Dark blue cotton shirt, light blue cotton shirt, dark blue jeans, bright red cotton shirt, olive green cotton shirt, olive khakis, bright red polyester shorts...


If I wash all these together in cold water, do you think any of it will bleed?


Thanks!Can I wash these clothes together?



You should not wash the jeans especially, with all the rest,


as they may bleed. I would probably wash most of those pieces


alone , at least for the first wash, just to be safe. If you decide


to take the chance, fill the washer up first with the cold water,


add some salt, as that helps set the colors, and do not add the


clothes until it is agitating, or ready to. That would be my advice.


I do hope it helps!Can I wash these clothes together?
Yea all on a 40 wash....Turn the jeans inside out, as that stops the colour from escaping if they was 2 bleed...I do all my colours 2gether like this %26amp; never had a problem
I would them on small loads


Blues together


Reds never mix with other clothes. This one those color that bleeds no matter what


Greens with other bright colors expect red

Why do my clothes come out of the washing-machine all kinda ';sandy'; (speckled with white/black particles)?

It started few months ago, and whatever I do, I couldn't find the source of those black/white stuff. Is it dried detergent?


When the machine is not used, there's nothing in there. But when I wash something, they come out speckled like that.


Thanks for the info.Why do my clothes come out of the washing-machine all kinda ';sandy'; (speckled with white/black particles)?
If you used powdered detergent it may be detergent. If using cold-water wash when this happens it may mean the water isn't warm enough to dissolve the detergent. I had this problem. Switching to liquid detergent or using warm water should fix the problem. If you've tried either of those fixes and still have problems let us know. Why do my clothes come out of the washing-machine all kinda ';sandy'; (speckled with white/black particles)?
try cleaning the filter out it is normally at the front or side near the bottom ,have a saucepan to hand as a small amount of water comes out when u undo it, there could be the fluff of old woollen socks in the there.
cheap nasty soap powder ,rubber inside machine could be rotton,or you've left something in side machine do a wash in a laundry if it don't happen ..get a new washer
Do you turn your clothes inside out when drying them?


You should..
try running a boil wash cycle with nothing in the machine before you do any more washing

Can I hand wash ';dry clean only'; clothes?

Check this out:http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf309277.tip.h鈥?/a>


I too have washed ';dry clean only'; items, usually with good results. They also have those products that you use in your dryer to ';dry clean'; at home, check the laundry aisle at your discount store or supermarket.Can I hand wash ';dry clean only'; clothes?
YesCan I hand wash ';dry clean only'; clothes?
i have done this many times and had great success with it you need to use woolite or coolwash lay flat to dry and may need a cool iron.
It depends on the fabric content. Try ';airing'; them or using


Febreeze. Spot clean any stains carefully.
No, they will get wrinkled. When you take the clothes to the dry cleaners they use a special method of cleaning that can only be done at a dry cleaners' place.
Most of them you can unless they are wool. You should wash them in cold water and air dry them without heat in the dryer or hang them in the bathroom or something. A sweater that might stretch out of shape you should lay out flat on a towel to dry.

How do you effectively wash clothing in the sink of a hotel bathroom?

How do you effectively wash clothing in the sink of a hotel bathroom?


Looking for details on this arcane topic. What kind of soap if best? In what quantity do you use it? How long should one let clothing soak? What's the most effective way of getting most of the water out of the clothing?How do you effectively wash clothing in the sink of a hotel bathroom?
Woolite is good for hand washing but use very very little as it is super concentrated.


Squeeze clothes gently to remove excess water then place a towel or towels flat lay washed item in the towel flat. Roll the item tightly up in the towel this will take out the excess water. Keep rolling in dry towels until as much water as possible is removed then hang or lay flat to dry depending on fabric.


You can use a blow dryer on warm of cool setting (depending fabric) to dry faster.


Make sure to request extra towels for your room before doing you laundry.





The link I put here will help you every step of the way washing clothing while traveling.


I hope this helps.How do you effectively wash clothing in the sink of a hotel bathroom?
Use the shampoo if you have nothing else. Run lukewarm water into the sink, put in a bit of shampoo, say one or two spoonfuls(too much will just mean more rinsing), swish the clothing around a bit, let it soak a few minutes, swish it again, rub a bit if the clothing will take that, drain the water, fill sink with fresh water to rinse or rinse under running lukewarm water until you feel no soap residue. Lay clothing out flat on a towel, roll up the towel, squeeze but don't wring, hang or lay flat to dry the rest of the way.
I'd use woolite and follow the directions on the bottle. Then hang clothes to dry.

White clothes are always dingy after wash, why?

I use baking soda to boost whitening, bleach, and hot water. Clothes always come out dingy.White clothes are always dingy after wash, why?
I've recently started to use a product called DR Beckhams Glow white it's fantastic pop it in along with the washing powder and your white will be whiterWhite clothes are always dingy after wash, why?
Hot water makes whites grey - don't go above a 40 wash. Unless you use bleach specially made to whiten clothes it can make whites go creamy or yellow. I don't know about baking soda - I know soda crystals (for cleaning not baking) are great for whites.





I usually do my whites on a 40 with normal washing detergent with something like vanish or soda crystals in the wash and I don't have a problem with them going dingy!
limescale? try a calgon next time.





In the mean time, get a whitener from the supermarket to soak your clothes in- they work to whiten lingerie and smaller white items. You can also buy clothes bleach, not tried it myself but could be worth a look. Dylon make them, and other people like glo-white also.
It could be your water. It could be really hard water with lots of minerals that's making your clothes that way. Try a scoop of Oxy Clean and see if that helps. You can also have your water tested for hardness. Take a sample into Culligan or a local water softener dealer. Good luck!
i found that fabric conditioners do it, if you use a coloured one. i always use a white conditioner and always do a whites only wash, and crystal white can help. i have a lot of white shirts to wash and this always works for me
Sometimes I put on a wash and then turn it off at the plug to let them soak and then turn the machine on again an hour or so later.


I also use a colour catcher it's amazing how dark it gets.
It could be with adding the bleach that's done it try vanish or a pre treatment or power wash.Also the amount of washing powder to lime and chlorine that's in the water persevere
i used to get dingy white clothes when i did not use prewash on washer i always use prewash
best thing for whites is a scoop of oxy clean dont use bleach it can make your clothes yellow

Gray spots on clothes after i wash them?

Is there any way of removing those greyish fluff balls that appear on your clothes after you wash them?

Wash the ball and clothes separately?Is there any way of removing those greyish fluff balls that appear on your clothes after you wash them?
yes,





1st, stop drying on such a high heat setting.





2nd, they make a ';Shaver'; for this condition. You can find them at Walgreen's, Rite-Aid, Walmart, etc.Is there any way of removing those greyish fluff balls that appear on your clothes after you wash them?
Lint rollers. theyre these sticky papers you roll all over your clothes, the cheap thing would be to tie tape in a wide circle around your hand and take it off bit by bit.
That condition is called ';pilling';. Use a lint shaver to remove them.
A lint brush.
wrap tape around your hand and pat them off

Will all my other clothes become black if I wash them with a shirt that I wrote on with a sharpie?

It could bleed.........don't wash it with whites or light colors.....only darksWill all my other clothes become black if I wash them with a shirt that I wrote on with a sharpie?
not sure. I would wash it sepratley just to be sure.
Wash it separately because it could possibly bleed. Wash it with like colors, you should always have three separate loads or more. Whites, light colors, dark colors, and check the pockets!
Yes, it will leave gray blotches on your other clothes wash it seperately.
In nurseing homes they write on clothes with a Sharpie





The clothes in Nurseing Homes are not all Black. The Markers fade some times and if you ironed on a tag those come off in a couple washes some times. Even worse when the Iron on tags come off the glue some times winds up on other clothes and putting holes in other clothes and stuff. It is a mess.





Depending on what you use and do when you wash your clothes it could bleed. Avoid Hot %26amp; Warm Water,.. and Bleach,.. Obviously Bleach.





If your still very concerned you could try to pin something that will cover both sides of the writeing, especially the first wash, so if it leaks it goes into what you pin on.

Is it true that putting your clothes in the wash on a high heat setting will shrink them?

i have lost weight and a few of my clothes are now a bit too big for meIs it true that putting your clothes in the wash on a high heat setting will shrink them?
ya may beIs it true that putting your clothes in the wash on a high heat setting will shrink them?
In my experience it's not a hot wash that does it, it's a long spell in the tumble dryer!
Most garments will shrink but some could also be ruined so its a chance you take
yip
yes
Yes, washing and heat setting will/may cause shrinkage depending on fabric quality.
no im afraid that only works on cirtain materials, plus you can never garuntee that you cloths wont shrink down to kiddies size otherwise everyone would be doing it!! lol
Yes, but the results won't be drastic, just about a 5% shrinkage.. or less.





Try ironing them too
yes but it depends on the material. and its pretty unpredictable how it shrinks. its probably better to take them in on the sewing machine than risk it.
If the clothes in question are cotton.
YES,IT IS TRUE.but,then again,i put mine on a normal wash and they still shrink...
cotton is probably the only thing that will shrink, but that will occur only once....i suggest you just go out and treat yourself to a few new items (as a reward!). new clothes that are made for your new weight will fit and probably feel nicer. also wearing the old ones which may tempt you back to your previous weight as you would have ';room'; to grow!
Only if they're cotton. or linen or wool.
yup its true. follow with a high spin and then tumble dry. however, your not garunteed that the garment will shrink at the same rate, meaning the body might shrink but not the arms. i dont advise you to do this. get the stuff taken in at a tailors.
T shirts will definately shrink on a hot setting but will also make the colours fade and they may shrink in length and be too short for you. Trousers usually shrink in length and jeans may shrink but stretch out again when you wear them. Why not get your clothes altered?
It depends on what material the clothes are made of.
It works on certian fabrics (natural fibres) but it wouldn't work in making your clothes fit. Unless your arms and legs have got shorter as well as thinner.
