Tissue in the Wash

Robm1955

HELP! I missed a tissue in my black trousers, before putting them in the wash. Now, obviously, they are covered in white bits. I shook a lot off, and removed the remainder from the pocket, but my trousers are still covered. I know the sellotate method, but I wondered if anyone knows of a reliable method of removing it all, so the trousers look black again. TIA.

I usually just stick it back in the wash with the offending pocket turned out and that does the trick for most fabrics.

Not got a technical solution.......Sorry...Perhaps try another forum, maybe this one.....HERE.

I've always found that running them under the tap in the sink removes most of it and then rewashing in the washing machine, after you have run the washing machine on empty first of course, to remove the tissue residue from the drum.

Tumble dryer can be good for removing fluff etc, too.

You posted a question about tissues in a technical forum :huh:


Rumrat pointed you to a more suitable forum to try . That was the most helpful post on this thread

What made you think that there is anything technical about removing fluff from a garment? You already answered your own question about using the sellotape method (or is that sellotate)??

Now if you asked the question about how to remove the fluff/debris from the washing machine filter... well, that would be technical

All comments noted. Quite right, it's not technical, but didn't know which board to post on. I'll take care next time. Thanks.
