I only brought this jacket for a month and the first time I wash it yesterday…there was a colour bleed. The zipper of the jacket had a brown fabric kinda thing attached to it and that thing made my white jacket have brown patches…What can I do?..is there a way to remove the brown patches from the color bleed?
I washed it the way the tag says to do.. wash in bellow 40C water and I hung dried..

My husband is getting out of the Marine’s in one week. He’s got to clean & turn in all of his gear, before he gets out. There’s 2 problems his flak jacket and sunglasses. The flak jacket has sweat stains on it. And the sunglasses have a strap on it that needs cleaned. The strap on the sunglasses has marks from and ink pen and permanent marker. I believe the straps for the sunglasses is made of the same type of material as the flack jacket. He already tried to clean the pieces of gear. Using a mix of liquid soap and a pressure washer. And that didn’t work. So, I told him that I’d try to clean the stuff for him. If anyone if familar with cleaning miltary gear like this, could you please tell me what to use to clean them off. Thanks.

I’ve borrowed a snow jacket from a friend and it was smelly and dirty. I decided to wash it. There was no washing instructions though. I put it in a really delicate cold wash yesterday with a really low spin cycle. I took it out and its been 24hrs and its still drenched. It seems to be the padding in the lining. Its all clumped up aswell. I keep trying to seperate it.
Have I ruined my friends jacket?
Or
Is this normal?
Will it go back to being big and thick and fluffy?

K Lilly asked:

After you wear your bathing suit a couple times it stretches out. And I don’t think that you’re supposed to put your bathing suit in the dryer. So how do you get your bathing suit to shrink back down to its original size after you’ve worn it a few times?

Getting rid of bathing suit stains?

Sara H asked:


What can I do to get a stain out of a green bathing suit? It’s stained from one of those popsicles that’s shaped like a cartoon character with gumball eyes (it was Spiderman, he was delicious). Part of it fell off the stick and landed on my bathing suit, leaving a reddish-purple stain.

I’ve tried two stain sticks and am about to try OxyClean, but I suppose the reason it’s harder to get out is because it’s bathing suit fabric. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

sharlene c asked:


I bought a suit today because I have an interview on Monday. The suit is wrinkled and the store wouldn’t steam it for me. I can’t find any dry cleaners that are open on Sundays (I live in Fort Lauderdale, FL – if you know of any, please let me know). Is there anyway I can press or get the wrinkles out of the suit myself?

m asked:


I am in a pool several times a week. My new bathing suit is already fading after only about 5 uses. I wash it in the sink with a cleanser that is supposed to help a bathing suit stay bright. I hang it up to dry in the shower. What else can I do to prevent fading?
