Is it safe to machine wash burlap?
I googled the heck out of this and some sites/blogs say yes on gentle cycle with baking soda or a small amount of detergent only... others say no way, it will wrinkle the fabric and fray the begeezuz out of it..
What say you?
I have about 10 yards that I'd like to de-lint a little bit and maybe soften slightly for table runners, but honestly if it's a super hassle I'll just do without.
Re: Is it safe to machine wash burlap?
It will definitely fray, so you have to zig, serge or bind it before washing.
It tends to wrinkle too. I haven't used it in some time, and I can't remember if there are any great tips for getting wrinkles out or preventing them.
