Any recommendations for cleaning tzizis without tangling them?
« on: December 16, 2016, 12:53:16 AM »
My kids tzizis strings get tangled and mangled in the wash. What is a good way to wash them without that happening (and without buying the Magen Tzizis thing)

Thanks

Take all the strings and put them in a plastic sandwich bag then close the bag with a twist tie.

Here goes- Since any washable tzitzis obviously wouldn't be made out of wool, where's the halachic basis for saying that such begadim are kosher?  :P

There goes the "Lakewood" guy....

Wool Tzitzis isn't officially washable, cotton is washable.

He wanted PC, so I was just trying to get the conversation moving. I know the consequences of washing wool tzitzis. You smell like a sheep for around a month

Popcorn lesson #1
In order to start a sustainable PC topic there must not be an easy and universally accepted conclusion.
For example you can mention techeiles or those zebra stripes you have on your tallis.
