Alrighty friends - time to clean those gloves! Half-way through quilting this lovely Playroom Quilt I realized the ink from the backing was rubbing off on my quilting gloves. I was horrified at first and cursed myself for not pre-washing my fabrics.
Ever been here before?! (Before photo! EEK!)
Not to fear! Today I am sharing a quick and easy fix. (Seriously, this might be my shortest tutorial ever!)
All you need:
- Palmolive (or any other simple dish soap): I chose this one because there is to dye or color to it.
- Quilting Gloves
- Sink
Step 1: Put on your gloves
Step 2: Squeeze some dish soap into your gloved hands.
Step 3: Scrub! Scrub! Scrub!
Wash your hands just as you would without gloves. As we have all learned - you're supposed to sing the ABC's right? While not necessary for this type of hand washing - it does make it more fun!
Step 4: Rinse and hang them to dry!
Voila! You're done! Told you that would be simple.
Great idea! Thanks so much. Love your backing fabric. What is it?
Both pairs of my quilting gloves are pretty dirty. I never thought to wash them while wearing them! I can’t wait to try this!!! Thank you for sharing this!!!!!
