Burlap isn't a material that you typically wash. In fact, in most cases you dry clean it. So when I went to Metrolina Expo this weekend and scored a great deal on some burlap feed sacks (so I could make more of these) I wasn't sure what to do when the burlap sacks smelled like the most digusting dog you could imagine.
Samsung front loaders to the rescue. They have a cool setting called HAND WASH, so I started there.
I put all four of my burlap sacks in the washer on COLD, HAND WASH. After they were finished, I took them outside to dry:
Good as new and NO MORE SMELL (wish I could say the same thing about my car).
I would not recommend throwing any burlap in the washer, but in this case I felt I had no choice. I'm making some pillows with these sacks, but I haven't yet decided what shape (euro or lumbar). I'll be sure to show you when I'm finished.
