What Is Dolomite Used For
Wash them in hot water and put them in the dryer with the dryer on high. You could wash other clothes with them, but they would shrink as well. If you don't want to waste water, set the washer on small load and it won't use as much. Hope I helped. Good luck!
Dolomite is a form of limestone, which is higher in I believe it's Magnesium. Just like regular lime, it is used to help raise the ph of soils, and the extra magnesium makes it desirable where the magnesium levels are lacking.
Dolomite is a carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2. The word dolomite is also used to describe the sedimentary carbonate rock, which is composed predominantly of the mineral dolomite (also known as dolostone). Dolomite is used as an ornamental stone, a concrete aggregate, a source of magnesium oxide and in the Pidgeon process for the production of magnesium. It is an important petroleum reservoir rock, and serves as the host rock for large strata-bound Mississippi Valley-Type (MVT) ore deposits of base metals such as lead, zinc, and copper. Where calcite limestone is uncommon or too costly, dolomite is sometimes used in its place as a flux for the smelting of iron and steel. Large quantities of processed dolomite are used in the production of float glass. In horticulture, dolomite and dolomitic limestone are added to soils and soilless potting mixes as a pH buffer and as a magnesium source. Home and container gardening are common examples of this use. Dolomite is also used as the substrate in marine (saltwater) aquariums to help buffer changes in pH of the water. Particle physics researchers like to build particle detectors under layers of dolomite to enable the detectors to detect the highest possible number of exotic particles. Because dolomite contains relatively minor quantities of radioactive materials, it can insulate against interference from cosmic rays without adding to background radiation levels. Dolomite is a popular choice for Motorcycle speedway tracks throughout Australia and New Zealand.
I would try the hot water thing but only wash other clothes with them if you want those to shrink too. Couldn't you just set your washer to a smaller load size? Then it won't use as much water
