Yes I do. Wouldn't like that to happen to one of my precious knits..
Don't drop the soap.

My bar must qualify as a Superfund site.
That's excellent! You got all the perc out!
Rats. I just took my suit to the dry cleaners and they use "solvents". I wish you had posted this yesterday
I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try this.
I understand your situation but there are other, better methods to rid your clothes of perc. There are many alternative cleaning solvents used today. .
I want to handwash my cashmere and merino sweaters. Not sure how to though. Just cold water and powdered soap? How to dry?
Did you ask the dry-cleaners advice before doing this? It seems like an extreme reaction.
MM, I think it's really cool how you've gone to great lengths to protect your health.
That is the problem. Too many different fabrics in a garment and each responds differently. Any shaping in a garment will be undone. The layers between the cloth and lining would take forever to dry. Wadding in shoulder pads would be a mess. Etc, etc...
Silly quesiton -- how do you know soap and water actually remove this perchloroethylene from clothes?
I just washed my cashmere briefs by hand and there is now a big hole on the back. Damn.

I would handwash them with the cashmere soap from The Laundress. It's pricey but works great and a little goes a long way. Dry flat
Having you been soaking your suits in 100% thujone again? It doesn't make you sleepy? - B
As my liver would have last night.
^ There was a good tip in that clip. "Wearing the suit while washing keeps the shape." OP should wear the suit in the tub for 3 hours FTW. Thanks binge
Could be the latest SF suit trend: shrink to fit.
