seriously, not only do I use Retayne while dyeing fabrics, I had my HAZMAT hubby read over this..you do realize there is NOTHING in this that is not in your dishwashing soap...or your hand soap, or your cosmetics....of course it will cause skin irritation..it is SOAP....this stuff is even safe for septics...so where do you get the idea Retayne is dangerous???
It clearly states there are NO carcinogens..do you know that the fabric you buy has 37 known carcinogens sprayed on it just to get it into this country???
USE retayne with the same precautions you use with any soap/detergent!
