How should I wash this sweater? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Cowman · 08-25-2004, 09:54 AM

Hey
I bought a sweater the other day, and whenever I wash it im left with a "white residue" all over it..it's really annoying. It's like fluff all over the damn sweater.

Im wondering, is there a special way I should wash/dry it so I can prevent this?
It's a 95 percent cotton sweater.

thanks for any help

what's the other 5%?

and what pricerange?

sweater quality is fairly notiseable when you wash them.

you may need to hand wash with woolite/shampoo/some gentle soap and dry flat.

polyester is the other 5 percent..it's a pretty cheap sweater, it was only 50 bucks Canadian. but it's nice and I'd love to actually wear it =/

I'm with SiN. I wash my sweaters, good and cheap alike on gentle cycle using Woolite or store brand. For white residue, you may want to consult Monica.com

Or is that .cum?

I have a black synthetic jacket that I have the same problem with. I think it may be some kind of residue from the detergent but I don't know for sure. Have you tried to brush it out with a damp cloth?
