Please let me know what you think. Thanks!
Any laundromats nearby that are up and running? I'd get all of that fabric there and put it in the front loading machines and get it washed and dried there. The large front loaders seem to be gentler to fabrics than my overloading tendencies with top loaders in similar situations.
