Know any safe ways to wash it? Clay: Use a phosphate based detergent; the old non-eco-safe "Tide" is the best one I'd recommend. Yeah, phosphates are bad for the environment: the environment is mostly dirt, and phosphates get rid of dirt. Go figure. (I spent several years growing up in an area where there was enough clay that if you went out after it rained, your feet would be twice as big on the way in as they were on the way out. 8-)). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
