Any way of washing out chemical compounds out of clothes? So at University I was messing around with stuff and I mixed FeCl3 in a beaker dissolved it in water after added KSCN and got K2FeSCN6 to that I added aluminum foil and to at the end I added H2O2 which created an explosion all of my clothes got hit and I'm not sure how to wash them out now so I really hope someone can help me since it was really important clothing I ruined.
A detergent, that washes all the mess which inflicted your clothes, has not been invented yet as far as I know. Sometimes, the dirt on the clothes is so "obstinate" in front of a variety of efforts which leads to giving up.
However, one can approach the problem with "soft" trials such as: soaking in liquid detergent for 24 hours & then rinsing with water or adding vinegar or lemon juice to the dirty spots followed by good rinsing with water or adding sour yogurt to these spots followed by good washing with water & liquid soap.
Please note that each trial has to end up with drying to see the effect before you move on to the next trial if the former did not work.
Wishing you success.
Is there a reason that you tried to commit suicide by cyanide inhalation? You do realize that you most likely generated free cyanide, right? Be thankful that it was only clothing, and welcome to the reality of chemistry.
