check first---I have heard that dry cleaning is not for cottons.
Orvis Paste is a wonderful washing agent. It is what bow
hunters use to wash their clothes to get all scents out. you can find it at a feed supply store--they use it to make the
lambs pretty and soft. and it only takes 1/4 c.
whatever you do, do NOT try to wash in the tub as some people will tell you. very hard not to stress the fabric & seams. has to be held in another sheet, etc. I think gentle wash & dryer with some towels thrown in on gentle is fine for cottons. yes, to dye catchers !
