I had a basement that I didn't know it leaked plus the sewer backed up and all my fabric got wet. Had 8 inches of water in the basement and all the fabric on the bottom of 2 10 foot shelves that were 4 inches of the floor got wet witch was half of my huge stash on them. I went right to the laundry mat with it for a full week and used oxyclean and dreft laundry soap to wash it in. I air dried a lot of the fabric on the clothes line. Spent a full 3 weeks ironing all the fabric. Thank God I had renters insurance and got a check for $5200.00 as other things in the basement got recked.
