Using old fabric for charity quilts
#61
When I lived in China (10 yrs, by the way) I always dried my clothes outside, even in the winter! In fact, most people in China hang their clothes outside since there are no dryesrs. On damp days, it might take llonger to get the clothes dried, but they did smell nice! Windy days are good for drying clothes outside. I would hang the fabric outside, even in the winter, it will smell so nice!

craftygater, there were just posts about toxic chemicals in fabric and laundry. Zep is extremely toxic, its a "Registered Pesticide". I would be careful recommending it AND using it. here is the MSDS From their own

Peeps: Please don't use this product ~ it just isn't worth it.
That stuff is TOXIC!
I'll repeat my previous advice: Try using one teaspoon of blue Dawn dishwashing liquid added to your regular detergent of choice. I use Tide.
