[h-cost] Kero smell in Indian muslin
I have some Indian block printed fabric that smells of kerosine after washing it for the first time. Can anyone recommend how to rid it of this horrible smell?

I'd try sunlight on the reverse side, spread out for a day or two. == Marjorie Wilser =:=:=:Three Toad Press:=:=:= Learn to laugh at yourself and you will never lack for amusement. --MW http://3toad.blogspot.com/ On Nov 8, 2009, at 4:51 PM, Aylwen Gardiner-Garden wrote: I have some Indian block printed fabric that smells of kerosine after washing it for the first time.

Well, the best way to get rid of bad smells is always lots of fresh air. I'd hang it out for a few days and see how much it improves.

Thanks for this. I washed two pieces of fabric from the same supplier but it was just one that after being washed started to stink the whole house out. Maybe a reaction with one of the colours? Its outside in the sun over my box hedges - still stinks though.
