When to use Retayne

How to use Retayne
In the washing machine
1. Estimate the amount of water needed to cover your fabric. Fill your washing machine to this level with 140oF (60oC) water. Boil water on the stove and add it to the washing machine if your hot tap water is not hot enough.
2. Add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of Retayne for each yard of fabric.
3. Add dry cotton fabric. Set the washing machine for a 20 minute wash cycle. If necessary, reset your machine during the cycle so the Retayne bath does not go down the drain. Rinse with cold water and dry at once.
By hand washing
1. Use an old enamel canning kettle that is not used for food preparation and heat the water to 140oF (60oC).
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.
How to care for fabric treated with Retayne
