I am finely in my new house enough that I can start on my 29 quilts.
My problem is, my Mother-in-Law's fabric had mice so it must all be washed. 18 boxes full..... Do you think just Tide and Downy is good, or do I need to use something stronger? It's disgusting....... Also, I only want to wash it on gentle so I get the least amount of fray possible... |
waiting for responses? I know I would use laundry detergent and either Borax or Arm & Hammer washing soda and then dry. Good luck with all that fabric.

In my oponion that would be fine.

You need to disinfect the fabric to prevent unwanted diseases :wink: laundry soap and drying is not enough :D:D:D

I would have to agree.. if it has had mice in it, it need disinfection. I would start out soaking it in white vinegar and hot water, that is suppose to be disinfecting. Then I would wash them in tide.

I would use Lysol. It will be expensive, but that would kill the germs. Also I would use the hottest water available. That means I would not go to a laundry mat.
