How about on washable fabric, like a t-shirt? Any certain fixatives that would help?

the cyanotype is processed with water so it is washable. That said how it lasts over time and multiple washings is a question. Don't know. Also a shirt is in continual light. I do know the kids at the local college use cyanotype on their t-shirts. If you really want to know, write the Formulary. They are very nice folks. You can even get on their newsletter list! I use the cyanotype on silk. Don't plan for a lot of washes! If you do wash I would use mild soap like Ivory.

This works on fabric. I haven't washed anything afterward, but I would think it would be fine. You can do some research online.

Just don't wash with Phosphate based soaps - phosphate reacts with the print and can turn it yellow.

Yes-use rubbing alcohol on a lint free pad/cloth. You can get them at Sally's.

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

Yes. A simple solution would be to get a downy ball and use it like you were using fabric softener.

Honestly, never have tried. Do a test patch on a non conspicuous place. A little bit of mild soap and water usually also does the trick in my house of grubby handed children. Or baby wipes. Those worked really well too!

Use a wash cloth dipped in a solution of warm water and a little mild laundry detergent.

I have always used a terry cloth towel to do this but I think a pastry cloth might work.

I use a very soft linen cloth. Something like a tea towel. I ever so lightly moisted it with water and that usually does the trick.

I would spot clean with a mild cleaner. The fabric is similar to canvas, so I imagine you could take it outside and hose it down if the mess is bad enough, as long as you let it dry completely.

Probably not. Depending on the fabric, you may want to try it with Oxyclean and very hot water, in addition to the soap. If the stain doesn't come out after the first try, do not put garment into dryer, instead, wash it again and again......

My sugggestion would be to apply a little bit of light sewing machine oil around the "corners" and let it soak a bit....let me know if that works!

Apply and rub it in really well, then wash immediately. At least, that's what I do.

I haven't used it on a washable fabric but I would respray after washing. Can't hurt and I am sure it will give you extra protection

I throw the shirt in the dryer for a few minutes, remove, and hang. Works for me.

Try putting an old, clean sneaker in the dryer with it to plump it while drying.

I'm not really sure how good this will stick to fabric. Try it sounds like a good idea!

put sunscreen on and let it dry and then use towelettes. Make sure sunscreen is dry. Think this will work better
