How do you clean fiberglass out of your clothes? I was up in the attic again crawling over fiberglass bats while replacing a bath exhaust fan. I usually put on long sleeve pants and an old long sleeve shirt or sweater that gets covered in fiberglass. The tip for fiberglass on your skin is to take a cold shower so your pores don't open so I'll take a long cold shower. But for clothes is warm or cold water better? I have a Speed Queen AWNE92SP and used the prewash and extra rinses for the clothes yesterday followed by an extra large/ full fill rinse only wash cycle with a little vinegar. That's also what I do with especially dirty clothes or rag loads. The rags with any chemical on them don't go in the washer they just get used until they have to be thrown out.

Just a long wash and extra rinse without any other clothing obviously, temperature of the water doesn't matter.
I know Fiberglas well.. I worked on the line removing newly made batts off the converyor and stuffing them into the pink bags in the Fiberglas plant here part of a summer and over a Xmas. Worst job ever. BAck then we were given no masks, in the summer it was hot outside and even hotter in the plant near the big blast furnaces,, so workboots and cutoffs, a t shirt or no shirt was pretty much the uniform. LOL. | ||

This was the same problem when folks washed fiberglass curtains and drapes.You had to run a few empty loads to flush the machine out-Fibillation as it was called on the fiber shedding. | ||
