Can I put this in the final rinse when I'm washing fabric instead of spraying each piece as I iron? Does anyone know if this will work?

Actually, the best way to use this is to follow the directions according to whether you want light, medium or heavy starch, then soak pieces in the mixture one at a time and wring them out. Toss them in the dryer or hang up and let the drip dry (preferably outside). You can iron the pieces while they are damp or dry. I find if I iron the item after it has dried and use a lot of steam, the ironing goes quickly and the item looks "crisp." As far as putting into the final rinse, I don't know why that wouldn't work as long as you remember that you need a cup of starch to every four or five cups of water in your rinse cycle. That is quite a bit of starch so you will want to starch quite a few things at the same time.

Hi Sara, I re-sprayed my fabric after washing it, just to be on the safe side, two out of three times...my fabric is black with white print...I didn't notice any problems/lack of protection when I neglected to spray it, but that might be due to the main color being black. If in doubt, spray it again! ;)

I am sorry that I can't say yes or no..since my washer is not HE...The powder dissolves quickly,so that may be a solution for you...just really not sure..If it does work,you will probably be pleased with the product,since not as much needs to be used per load,and you can still use fabric softener if you want to..maybe check with the mfg. of the detergent? tc,wish I could answer your question...

It just specify on the bottle it MAY bleach fabric. So I would still be cautious about it. I don't see it happening to mine since I have mostly dark fabrics I would've seen it at once.

I've washed mine in the washing machine. I use the delicate setting and regular laundry soap and it doesn't seem to hurt the fabric

you can use it like a spray once you dissolve it or dip the shirt and dry it and sprinkle it down,then iron it........

I have never sprayed this on fabric so I can't say for certain - but I suspect you should not spray your clothes with it. It is made up largely of essential oils and definitely leaves an oily residue wherever you spray it (it does dry up and has never stained the wood floor or tile where I've used it) that I doubt is good for clothing. I could certainly see it staining some fabrics.

Since U add soap when U use it, Ijust rinse it in water after use and let it air dry. I probably would not put in washer b/c something might snag & unravel the fibers. There's no loose ends hanging out but it has a loose weave.

Separate from regular wash - avoid fabric softener, etc... [I do wash with microfiber towels.]

I've used this in all types of clothes even my carpet. I've never had a problem. If it's a set in stain I pretreat with the oxy gel stick before washing.

I have a HE washer so here's my recipe. I combine in an old 64 oz jug from juice etc. 1 1/4 c Sal Suds, 1 c baking soda, and the rest water. Add the water and baking soda first leaving room for the Sal Suds otherwise it will foam up when attempting to fill it up with water. Then just turn it upside down a few times throughout the day and you'll notice the baking soda disappears. it seems to all congeal somewhat. I then pour in enough to fill up the soap dispenser and add vinegar to the rinse cup. Been washing clothes like this for years. Doesn't fade colors and has been safe for all types of fabrics. Clothes do not have a strong fragrance after drying; they are just clean.

I would not put it in the wash. What you can do is dilute it with water and spray it on the shirts before ironing. That shirt will be so nice and crisp after you iron it. The shirts will look like you just go them out of the dry cleaners. Just do not put water in the iron, because that makes your iron rust quickly.

I use a light fabric finish and no buildup occurs. I clean the iron approximately weekly while using water from a Britta filter, which does still have minerals in it.

The Forever New Fabric Care Wash is powder. I tried the liquid and didn't like it as well as the powder. I think it's a case of personal choice between the two.

It really depends on the detergent or shampoo you wish to use. I use Meg's Gold Class straight no dilution on the C setting for a pre rinse wash, then rinse off the excess dirt with a pressure washer(or strong hose nozzle) if I'm doing a correction. If it is just a maintenance wash, then pre rinse wash on C, then hose off, then foam on E, them mit while foaming and two bucketing, then sheet with no nozzle on the hose. Hope this helped you!

Yes machine wash, Hand dry and you can add fabric softener to the rinse cycle is what it says on it

Hi, I use a lot of this fabric for various projects and yes, I use the handwash cycle in my washer.. and cold water, but then I wash most of my clothes in cold water. Also, when you have finished adding the image to your Photo Fabric, give it a good ironing with a nice hot iron. This really seals the color into the fabric. Hope this helps!
