An extra cold rinse cycle in the machine after the normal wash, can
also help remove detergent traces.

i use dye & perfume free detergent - hadn't thought or previously been
told
about the extra wash part. that makes a lot of sence - gonna start doing
that also. might have to wait til after the drought though....well's
starting to go dry!

Rachael, chemicals are more soluble in hot water than cold. Hot water is
best, warm is good, cold is better than nothing. Chemists rinse three
times and count to twenty when the dripping starts and that's for glass,
with cloth, spin dry and re-soak.

Good Luck,

thanks! but doesn't hot water make pure cottons shrink? or maybe i'm
mixing it up with another material.........

Your probably right about the cotton but the hot water is more effective
in removing any chemical residue.
