Wondering how to properly wash/clean my new white hoodie.?

I'm about to purchase a white hoodie with some stripes on it, I was wondering; what's the best way to wash the hoodie the first time and every other time I wash it?Wondering how to properly wash/clean my new white hoodie.?
read the lableWondering how to properly wash/clean my new white hoodie.?
If it is fleece, polar fleece or furry (like velour), turn it inside out. This will prevent the texture from pilling. If it is sweat shirt material with a fleece inside, wash it right side out. In either case, zip it up and tie the hoodie strings together. Check the label to see whether it was made outside the US or Europe. If it was made anywhere in SE asia (India, Pakistan, Bangledesh, Phillippines) use a cup of white vinegar in the rinse water to set the dye and keep it from bleeding the next time you wash it. I would go the extra mile and put a dye grabber or shout color catcher in the load with the wash water and detergent. If it has more than 50% manmade fiber, wash it in cold water to prevent shrinkage.
I wash mine alone inside out and hang to dry (maybe a couple minutes in the dryer to keep out the wrinkles an reform it !!!!!!!
dry clean or look at the label and follow instructions

    Take the GB under for your best bet this weekend.
    take it to the dry cleaners.
    tips from an old drycleaner...is it white? if not, test for colorfastness - rub white hankie w/water %26amp; the soap you use on a hidden area...if it's ok, use FRONT loading washer, make sure to rinse 2x, spin long and fast, after 2 or 3 dry cycles, lay it flat %26amp; make sure there are no clumps, if so break them loose %26amp; redry...you can press w/hands on the down-filled parts to expose any leftover water - yes, a bit of work but MUCH less expensive than the dryclean shop
    I have 3 of those down comforters and I've just put them in the washing machine.... They shrink down to nothing and wash quite well.. I have a super capacity washer... I just use a Woolite or gentle wash soap and use the extra rinse cycle.. If you don't have a super capacity washer you can take it to the laundry mat and use the double capacity washers and wash them there... I've had my comforters for about 6 yrs. plus and I wash them every few months or so.... Also, it's good to get a duvet cover to keep stains to a minimum....





    Good luck

    What is the best way to get white socks clean in the wash besides bleach?

    My kids get their socks so dirty and I have tried putting bleach in the wash along with laundry soap and it just doesn't seem to do the trick. (plus I hate the smell of it) I know there are plenty of products out there - just wondering what anyone else has tried and actually had work? I am tired of buying them new socks only to have them wear them once and they come out of the wash looking filthy. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.What is the best way to get white socks clean in the wash besides bleach?
    hydrogen peroxide and vinegar in the downy ball or if you don't have a downy ball just put 1/2 a cup in the rinse.What is the best way to get white socks clean in the wash besides bleach?
    Try adding a cup of vinigar to your wash.


    Otherwise, you can try OxyClean.


    But my bf gets his socks sooo dirty from work and so it becomes impossible to keep them clean, and I like to have where he has socks for work and then socks for not at work. Then we aren't buying them all the time and I'm not losing my mind trying to get them clean.


    Hope this helps!
    I use environment friendly product for my white laundry. It is called Chlorine Free Bleech Dry%26amp; Perfume free and I think the product is working excellent to me. It has no nasty smell(No smell in fact), its better for your skin than regular one, and it is good for our environment too!
    OXY clean has worked for me!

    Do You think Kate McCann could wash her clean in the public's eye if she would give back all the money?

    I believe people are upset, because they have taken such a large money (I believe over 1 million pound) as donation and now it seems the McCanns are involved themselves. The big donations come from celebrities like Richard Branson and David Beckham. Or what would clean their names. Certainly be fleeing home they have damaged their reputation and they should go back immediately to Portugal. At least they should start talking with the media, otherwise they will be stamped guilty irreversible or what do You believe?Do You think Kate McCann could wash her clean in the public's eye if she would give back all the money?
    i always thought they were very strange showing such little emotion i know some people have been reared not to show emotion, it just i dont see how anyone could keep it together not knowing what happened and i cant see them keeping access to the fund much longer unless their cleared of suspicion x xDo You think Kate McCann could wash her clean in the public's eye if she would give back all the money?
    They are guilty, I have thought that all along.
    NO I BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE UPSET AS AN INNOCENT YOUNG CHILD IS MISING PRESUMED DEAD AT THE HANDS OF HER PARENTS.
    I believe we should all await the outcome of a trial and 'innocent until proven guilty'. As far as I have seen they haven't touched much of the money and after their case is resolved it will go to help others who find themselves in the position of having lost a child.





    I also believe that their original plan was to come home on Monday. The lease on the villa was ending and so that was their plan. The Portugese officials made them official suspects because they were leaving and it seemed prudent to do so before they left as that was the way things would eventually go according to the (alleged) evidence.





    If I was innocent and had planned to leave, I would leave. If they wrongly accused me I would run for British soil. If I was guilty I would run. So what we have here is two people who have come back to Britain and it means nothing at all.
    I agree.

    How do you protect your nails from breaking/polish chipping, etc... when You wash dishes/clean?

    I am a nail freak and a mother of three. I do my own nails as well as my girl's and their friend's (depending on the occasion).


    Just a couple of tips to add, go ahead and use the rubber gloves, but even that will dry out your cuticles and polish so be sure to moisturize after you have taken the gloves off %26amp; washed your hands. Most of us woman do the bulk of our house cleaning on a certain day, so pick later that same day or the day after to redo your nails. :)How do you protect your nails from breaking/polish chipping, etc... when You wash dishes/clean?
    Wear rubber gloves, and you can buy Sally Hansens hard as nails fingernail polish, to make your nails stronger.How do you protect your nails from breaking/polish chipping, etc... when You wash dishes/clean?
    Put on your rubber gloves...
    I do my own manicure once a week....during Thursday night t.v., have been doing that for years.





    Pick good quality polishes. Use a base coat and a top coat (two is best.) I never wear latex gloves and my manicure lasts a week without chipping.
    wear rubber gloves.
    Just have to wear gloves

    How do i clean my dishes cleaner? I wash them but they have water spots on them am i doing something wrong lol

    I use dish soap and water.. Why arnt they getting cleanHow do i clean my dishes cleaner? I wash them but they have water spots on them am i doing something wrong lol
    u have to dry them with a towel after u washed themHow do i clean my dishes cleaner? I wash them but they have water spots on them am i doing something wrong lol
    First of all your dishes are probably very clean as far as food and germ residue. Are you using a diswashing DETERGENT. Soap is not generally used anymore as it leaves crud on most things unless the water is extremely soft (without minerals). Water spots are not dirt. If you have something you especially are proud of, dry it with a clean soft dish towel, or old clean T-shirt. Otherwise, don't let yourself get caught up in worrying about water spots. It's OK. Put your mental energy into something you enjoy. Good Luck.
    Are you using a dishwasher or are you hand washing them?





    If you are hand washing them, be sure that you are drying them completely with a soft, cotton dish towel. Try to use more than one towel so that they don't become too damp to effectively dry your dishes.





    If you are using a dishwasher, have you tried any of the fast-drying agents on the market? Many of the small tablets (as opposed to the dishwashing powders) have fast acting drying agents. Jet Dry is also to serve the similar purpose.





    If you have tried the fast-drying agents for a dishwasher, you may want to check and be sure that the electric coil in your dishwasher is working properly, as it is usually responsible for creating the heat to dry the dishes.
    The spots are hard water deposits. When the water dries it leaves the minerals behind- in spots. You could try rinsing in very hot water so they dry quicker. If that doesn't help you're stuck wiping them completely dry with a towel.
    If you don't see food on them when your'e done washing them, then they are clean! Sounds like your'e unhappy with the ';water spots'; that appear once they are dry. Right? I have two suggestions: You could towel dry them by hand, taking time to buff each piece into a sheen luster you can adore your image in, ~OR~ invest in a water softener that is built in to your home water supply. This can be somewhat expensive but will pay off in the long run. A more cost effective alternative would be to put a little Calgon in the sink with some hot water to rinse your dishes by hand then allow to air dry. When I was a kid, my mom used something called Rain Soft in almost everything except our drinking water. She used it in the laundry, in our baths, etc. We must of lived in an area that provided hard water. You might too. There are water testing kits you can purchase from your local hardware store that you can use to test your tap water to see if you do. If your using an automatic dishwasher................ your'e on your own there! Good luck.
    try a capful of bleach in your wash water..just make sure to rinse them extremely well
    try using fancier soap. if it's important to you drop a few bucks on a fancy name brand soap with lots of things like 'spot free' and 'super shiny dishes!' on the label. well.. i don't know about the second one but you know what i mean. don't use dollar store soap.
    you might be using too much soap too. rinse them off after you wash them.

    Good ole soap works wonders.
    any regular soap should do the job





    be sure to pull back the foreskin and wash around the head, if you have foreskin





    if you want to make it feel clean, you can use a little cologue on it, not too much
    It sounds like you are polishing a new car? Just simple soap and lather at the time of your bath/shower is more than sufficient. Do you think we all have potions and lotions to wash our penis? A little common sense might help.
