I work for an HVAC company and often have to replace old ductworkAs a result I usually get the old nasty insulation all over my body and clothingI've always done my best to wash my work clothes separatelyBut once I accidentally washed my jacket FULL of insulation fibers with all of my normal clothes (underwear included)Dumb mistake I knowSO, that was about a month ago, and ever since every single pair of underwear (20 pairs) itch the living hell out of me once I start to move in them more and moreI've washed them 5-7 times in hot and cold water; and it doesn't go awayIt's driving me absolutely insaneWill it ever go away????? Or should I just buy all new underwear???
it is strong and relatively cheap compared to other metals,
There are some doctors who say not to cook with aluminum as over time the metal can enter your system and harm youI do not know what they say about non-stick whether there are dangers or not but i don't like them anywayI prefer iron skillets and stainless steel for potsAnd the iron does get into your system but you need a certain amount of ironI guess in buildings it is used because it is light.
The reason aluminum can be used for both building and cooking, even though is is a reactive metal (highly reactive) that reacts to water and corrodes, is because the aluminum reacts with water and dissolved oxygen (which must be present to cause oxidation) and forms a sort of oxide film which serves to protect the aluminum against further deteriorationThe way this words is very complex and has to do with the purity of the water and/or it's PH levelIn this way aluminum corrodes very slowly, or not at all, depending on the conditionsIt is not a very good material for cooking vessels by itself because of its reactivityFor instance it will react with acidic foods and can turn them brown, etcPlus it gets that nasty rough surface coatingBut it has excellent heat retention/distribution which is why it is used in steel-clad cookware, so that the outer surface that comes into contact with the food is stainless steel which is non-reactive but the inner sandwiched layer is aluminum which gives much better cooking performance than stainless steel, which if used alone is a very bad material for pots and pans (i.eplain aluminum would be better).
You might just have to get new underwearYou also might have the insulation fibers stuck inside your washing machineI had that happen a time or twoAlso when removing old insulation wear gloves long sleeves and tape the sleeve and glove cuff together with duct tapeThis will keep most of all those fibers out of your clothing.
