Retayne-16 oz.
18659  $7.80
Please note: The new energy efficient front and top loading washing machines do not supply enough water to properly treat your fabrics with Retayne. You will need to use the Hand Wash Method below or a traditional top loader in your local laundromat. HAND WASH METHOD
1. Use an old enamel canning kettle or plasticbucket that is not used for food preparation and add water that has been heated to 140ºF (60ºC). The quantity of water must completely cover the cloth and allow it to move around freely.
2. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of Retayne for each yard of fabric.
3. Add dry fabric. Swish your fabric around in the hot Retayne bath for 20 minutes with a spoon or wooden dowel. After 20 minutes, rinse with cold water and dry at once.
4. You only need to treat your fabric once with Retayne. Launder it in cool water with a cold rinse from then on. Do not wash it in hot water.
