it seems to be more easily washed away--think about it--it needs to be--

I can't say if the cotton can take it or not---I have had good experiences with Dawn and others. I really mean it, though-over and over and over again. If there is an easy way out-I do not know it.

PLUS--if it works-you enjoy it more! Like darning socks.
