What can I use?? I have Ivory dishwahsing liquid, Dr. Bronner's, baking soda, borax, vinegar....will any of this do the trick just this once? My dipes are hemp & fleece.

Oh, I have Dawn, too....and Oxyclean...?

Thanks!

I'd stay far away from the dish soaps - you'll have bubbles galore! I would use maybe 1/2 cup of baking soda.

I've used Dr. Bronner's (just a dab will do you) and baking soda. I'd probably go with the baking soda. I typically alternate washes with soap and soda anyway.

I would do one cold wash followed by a hot wash, both with no detergent. I do this every once in a while even if I have detergent at home. I think it's a good way to prevent build up.
