Generally I try to avoid anything but cotton clothing, just because cotton is more comfortable than synthetics or synthetic blends.
So couple of days ago I picked up some t-shirts at a nearby Bargain Store. Two were all cotton and the formaldehyde stench was easily removed with a simple wash. The third turned out to be 50% polyester. It smells every bit as bad after the wash as it did going in. Fair bit of online research suggests the only hope is a long, multi-day, soak in a baking soda solution, then solar/wind dry, preferably at sub zero temps, finally repeat until wearable!
Will go one round and if that does not save it, I'll let it stink up the local landfill.:eek:
