... washed and dried their denim PC apron ... with a host's 4-year old child's Kleenex in the pocket (which you took away from the little darling before she smeared it across the DCB)?

Just askin'.
 
I've done something similar with black pants, I was picking little white lint pieces off those pants for forever.

Wanna come over to my place and do it for me. Drat that stuff disintegrates!
 
I washed my dots apron with colored paper in the pocket and it stained the apron. It's now used only in my kitchen. I'd much rather deal with getting kleenex particles out.
 
I wash stuff with tissues in it all the time. Glad I have a lint roller. Can only ask the lint trap to do so much.
 
How about I just sell you a new cranberry apron instead lint picking, hehe

Gosh, Lori. Thanks so much for the offer - but cranberry went out of style on the west coast many moons ago. :)
 
I can't remember when I've last had a load of laundry that didn't have some sort of tissue or paper towel in it. DH has a very bad habit of not clearing out his pockets before throwing his pants in the laundry bin.

Well, next to the laundry bin at least. Or somewhere on the floor in the same room.

Noora, LOL - sounds like I used to be (when I was young and untrained by an anal-retentive partner).
 
Shipping tape. I have a roll right by the drier. Pat and I are both horrible at remembering to clean out pockets. A lint roller too can only do so much and well, shipping tape is very sticky and I usually can get all the tissue bits off my pants with a few pieces. And I am 49 and still get the my clothes near the laundry hamper rather than in it! I am such a lazy putz when it comes to that!

try having the red 50/50 tickets from the ticket game washed in your apron pockets... you will need a new apron for sure.. I have replaced 3 of them
 
Much better than washing it with a pen in the pockey, ewww!:mad:
 
Whoops.....I meant POCKET!!!:blushing::blushing::blushing:
 
I've thrown the same lint covered (tissue) item back into the washer then dryer, and it beats the frustration of picking lint.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wash a Denim PC Apron with a child's Kleenex in the pocket?

It is generally not recommended to wash the apron with items in the pockets, including a child's Kleenex. The tissue may break down during the wash and leave residue on the apron.

What happens if I accidentally wash the apron with a Kleenex in it?

If you wash the apron with a Kleenex in the pocket, you may end up with bits of tissue stuck to the fabric. It's best to remove any items from pockets before washing to avoid this issue.

Can I machine dry the Denim PC Apron after washing?

Yes, you can machine dry the Denim PC Apron, but it's advisable to follow the care instructions on the label. Air drying may help preserve the fabric and color longer.

Will washing the apron with a Kleenex damage the fabric?

Washing the apron with a Kleenex should not damage the fabric itself, but it may leave lint or residue that could require additional cleaning to remove.

How should I clean the Denim PC Apron if it gets stained?

If the apron gets stained, pre-treat the stain with a suitable stain remover before washing. Follow the care instructions for the best results in maintaining the apron’s appearance.
