Hi Sondra,

Thanks for the tip–I also tend to wash everything in cold water, which helps eliminate color runs and shrinking.

I too am a huge fan of Washboard, where the owner once told me he collects all the discarded laundry detergent bottles, brings them down to the basement and painstakingly collects every last drip of remaining detergent before placing those bottles in the recycling bin. Now that's green commitment! Thanks for all the awesome info!

I am allergic to most detergents and start having a reaction just walking in through the front door of a dry cleaner. So I wash just about everything in my washing machine on the 'hand wash' cycle. I very, very rarely have negative results from this. This may be because I tend to prefer natural fabrics and these usually are okay with the addition of a little water. But every poly blends are usually fine with the gentle cycle and a little gentle soap.
