How to Partially Restore Clothes
Once
clothes have developed limestone deposits,
they may be partially restored by soaking in a solution
of two cups (480 ml) of vinegar in one gallon (3.8 liters)
of hot tap water for 15 minutes. USE A PLASTIC
CONTAINER. Then wash clothes in the washer
using detergent.
CAUTIONS:
●
Do not use vinegar soak solution in washer.
The acidic action of the vinegar may damage
the porcelain.
●
Vinegar soak solution may reduce the
wrinkle-resistance of permanent press fabrics.
●
Vinegar soak may damage the dyes in
some fabrics.
