Does cashmere shrink/tighten up slightly when you wash it in cold water?

I have bought a medium cashmere tunic in a very fine knit but it is a little too big. If I wash it using a cashmere washing agent in cold water will the wool tighten?





If I cannot shrink it very slightly I will have to send it back!Does cashmere shrink/tighten up slightly when you wash it in cold water?
It should not shrink as far as I know. Because we sell cashmere scarves and have not till not listened from any of our customers that it shrinks. Also we ourselves have tested, 100% cashmere doesn't shrink. But I have come across sweaters in market which shrinks. But then most of cashmere in market is not really 100% cashmere as for sweaters , people do mix other fibres with cashmere.





My suggestion to you will be send it back if it doesn't fit.Does cashmere shrink/tighten up slightly when you wash it in cold water?
If the label says to dry clean only--then please do so. Take care.
It probably will.

I got a Japanese Straight Perm, am I allowed to wash with just water?

I got a Japanese Straight Perm on Saturday. I naturally have curly hair for some additional details. They told me not to wash until Monday night. I really don't want to go to school without washing my hair for so long. Am I allowed to at least rinse my hair with water? Cold or hot? Or would it ruin my perm?


My friend tried it and it was fine but she already has pretty straight hair but mine is curly so I need your help!I got a Japanese Straight Perm, am I allowed to wash with just water?
Ok so my friend Jessie did the same thing and she wet it and it got ruined and her hair is super curly so don't do it! You'll have to get it redone and then wait another 2 or 3 days and that would suck. Trust me you should just do as they tell you and then follow the instructions.I got a Japanese Straight Perm, am I allowed to wash with just water?
no DO NOT WASH YOUR HAIR!!!!


ok my friend got this done and it got messed up because she washed it after 2 days, and it got messed up!


wait until tues. wear your hair in braids or a ponytail today and tomorrow if it looks greasy
Wow the reason the dont want you to wash your hair so often is because when you do that your hair gets damaged and can start falling out. Dont worry its not like your hair well smell. (my hair is permed)

don't wash it !


if you're worried about the smell


just spray some perfume or something.


hope that helps(:
why would u wanna risk it?

Is it ok to wash dishes in cold water?

or is hot better?Is it ok to wash dishes in cold water?
Funny you should ask this question! Because last week on TV someone else asked the same thing.





The answer was:


Detergent breaks down the grease,fat and oils but doesn't kill germs. In order to kill germs the water temperature has to be 80 degrees Celsiuses.





The best place to wash your dishes is in a dishwasher or if you wash your dishes by hand pour boiling water over them at the end and let them air dry.





They said if you use a tea towel to dry your dishes the moist tea towel will put germs back on the dishes.





I think it's amazing, I'm still alive after all these years because I wipe my dishes dry with a tea towel and rinse the dishes in only warm water. lolIs it ok to wash dishes in cold water?
Hot, soapy water is better. It allows food residue to ';melt'; off, perhaps dissolve would have been a better word.





It also sanitizes any surfaces you may have used in preparing meat - cutting boards, etc.
Hot is always better as the purpose of washing dishes is to not only clean them but to kill any bacteria left on the plate. If you are in a pinch and only cold water is available, use an anti-bacterial detergent and rinse clean. As soon as you can, get them into some nice hot water. You don't want to take chances getting sick.
Hot is better.
Hot is better because it kills the germs and makes the soap work more effectievly.
you can not get the water hot enough to kill pathogens without burning your skin. modern detergents, like dawn will clean and kill bacteria in cold water just fine!

How often do you wash kitten in lukewarm water?

How often do you trim the kittens nails?


What diseases or serious illness can indoor kitten get?How often do you wash kitten in lukewarm water?
You should only bathe a cat if it is with a shampoo for fleas or if it rolled around in manure or something of that sort.





Bathing a cat drys out their skin and can cause them to scratch themselves bald or raw. They groom themselves many times a day so please, never wash your cat.





You shouldn't trim her nails until she is getting them stuck in the carpet. furniture or drapes. Do it when she is sleepy or relaxed so she's less likely to squirm. Only trim off a small amount, and always be sure to watch for the ';quick.'; The quick is the vein that runs through the nail and if you cut into it, it is very painful for the kitty and she could bleed.





UTIs (urinary tract infections) are common in house cats who are on a diet high in magnesium. Grocery store or department store food is the number one cause of UTIs. It is not pH balanced and it causes little crystals of urine to build up, and when they try to urinate these crystals make it very painful for them so they end up holding in their urine. You'll want to get your kitten to the vet immediately if she is not peeing regularly, if she is meowing constantly for no apparent reason especially in the litter box, or if she is lethargic and out of energy and not eating or drinking as much.





To avoid this painful infection, start her off on a high quality food from your local health pet food store. Chicken Soup for the Cat Lovers Soul is a good brand that is nutritionally solid, and reasonably priced.





Good luck with your new furbaby!How often do you wash kitten in lukewarm water?
It is not correct that indoors cats trim their own nails on scratching posts. What they are doing on the posts is to rid themselves of old dead coverings of nails as they grow. If you keep your cat inside you do need to trim the points off their nails once a month or so. If you do this when the cat is relaxed it can become part of your normal routine. Let the cat tell you when he/she has had enough of messing with their feet. I often can do just one foot at a sitting. Usually I just to front feet but check the back toes too. I had one cat who's back claw was too long and it got caught on the carpet. The cat pulled against it and dislocated his toe. His toe was upside down. Quick trip to the vet only to learn that gentle massage will allow the toe to pop back to the right position





I do not bath my cats as long as they are healthy and indoor cats. If they go outside they are likely to get into something that might smell bad or be dangerous to the cat if he grooms himself clean. Then it is bath time. Cats do not like bath time - huge understatement.
cats stay clean inside clean homes; they get dirty and develop sores, hotspots, eye discharges in dirty home.





cats trim their own nails. on furniture, carpet, whatever is around, that's why they sell poles with carpet wrapped around them.





an indoor cat can pick up whatever filth you bring into the home.





if you have a clean home, the self cleaning cats do for themselves, by licking and grooming their fur, is more than sufficient..





my cats always smell like toy stuffed animals in the morning and evening..just like the fake fur on a new toy teddy bear.

Can I pour bleach in my dish water to wash them?

Isn't this dangerous? Do people really put bleach in their dish water?Can I pour bleach in my dish water to wash them?
Yes. Just a cap full though. Thats all you need.Can I pour bleach in my dish water to wash them?
Laundry - yes... but, apart from sterilizing, what would you want to bleach (whiten) in dish water??? It isn't dangerous, btw.... won't smell great!
no i do it all the time
I worked at a group home and we would but bleach in the dishwasher. One of the clients had hepatitis and we didn't want anything to happen to the other clients. Nothing happened to the dishes and no side effects on the clients, either. So my experience it was safe.
yes its fine same with me my mum used it growing up it made the dishes sparkle and very clean just make sure you really rinse it off...also good ol lemon cleans dishes and leaves it smelling fresh
I have did this before. Works great!
yes, but not a lot of bleach. my mom always did this growing up, and it never harmed us, just be sure to rinse!
People bleach there cups to cover the stains....but c'mon Dish-water detergent ain't that pricey!...buy some
You can. Some do. Why would you want to? What is wrong with the regular soaps? There are some with bleach alternatives added.
If you want to freshen the smell in there, use Vinegar, Never Bleach. Bleach is a strong oxidizer + can harm seals + parts.
Sounds great.
It's toxic to plants, animals, and people. Would you drink it? No, well you don't want it on your dishes either, not even a tiny bit!!
yes,you can. I do it all the time with my dishes and it assures me that they are clean!
I use the dish soap that has bleach actually in it...look for that. Ultra Concentrated Dawn with bleach








';Rinse in dilute bleach solution (50-100 parts per million chlorine; about 2ml of 5% bleach per litre of water, approximately one capful bleach per gallon water). ';


from http://www.answers.com/topic/dishwashing


Sounds like for each gallon of water you use, put a capful of bleach.





Rinse good!!
Bleach in the dish water is fine. It is a disinfectant.
Actually, wash them normally, then when rinsing, put a capful of bleach in the rinsewater. Restaraunts, hospitals, nursing homes, everyone does it.
Yes, it doesn't take much. It kills germs and works with the soap. What do you think they use at fast food restaurants? They use a type of disinfectant/ sanitizer that works the way bleach does.
Personally, i would not do it and have not heard of anyone doing this... There are some points you should think about......





Bleach has a very strong smell, which can make you dizzy and disoriented. I know this personally as i use to clean my aquairum decorations with bleach to kill algae when i was storing the decorations (changing for the season). I would get really dizzy and nautious. LIkewise may be true for you.





Another thing to think about is that bleach is not safe to drink, if you use them to wash the dishes PLEASE rinse them really really really well! It can be fatal!





If it were me, stick to the dish soap you can buy in the stores... I've always been partial to Dawn. There are many dish soaps which are really good at cutting grease and getting my dishes looking good as new.
HUH?? BLEACH? Use soap.

Will it damage a wool jacket to wash it in cold water on the gentle cycle and let it air dry?

It's only 48 percent wool and the rest is a nylon polyester blend.Will it damage a wool jacket to wash it in cold water on the gentle cycle and let it air dry?
If you can read the label, see what it says. If it says dry clean only, do that. Why do you want to clean it? Does it smell or is it dirty? That will help decide what to do. If is just smells, try hanging outside for a couple of hours. If it is visibly dirty, you can wash it in cold water on gentle and let air dry, not in the dryer, but it may shrink a bit. Dry cleaning will get it clean but won't do much for smell. With the blend, I personally would try washing it myself unless the tag told me not to. Sometimes it's because of the dyes they use they say to dry clean only. If it zips, washing may make the zipper bulge and not work properly. Wash at your own risk if it says dry clean only.


Hope this helps you make a decision.Will it damage a wool jacket to wash it in cold water on the gentle cycle and let it air dry?
As you said.Its a mixture of polyester and wool.As The wool content is less, you can wash in cold water but without spin dry.If it's 100%wool you can't wash in water.
If you use a detergent specifically for use with that blend of fabrics(like woolite) there will not be a problem , just don't put it in a dryer or it will shrink! Air drying is the best for it if it's laid out on a drying rack made for that purpose.
It may shrink a little.

Why must you use both soap and water to wash oil from your hands?

plz help me i hate chem.Why must you use both soap and water to wash oil from your hands?
That's because water and oil do not mix because water is hydrophillic and oil is hydrophobic. Soaps contains both hydrophillic and hydrophobic molecules.





So when your wash your hands without soap, the oil and water do not mix and the oil is not washed away.





So when you wash your hands with soap the soap sticks to the water and the oil sticks to the soap.
