Which reminds me of another option - dry cleaning bags that you put the garment in and run through your dryer.

How's that go again?

A priest is complaining to a rabbi about the rat problem in his church. The rabbi says, "We had a problem like that about ten years ago. But I dealt with it."

"What did you do?" asked the priest.

"It might not work for you," said the rabbi.

The priest insisted.

"Okay," said the rabbi. "I put out a trail of cheese, and the rats followed it up onto the bimah. When all the rats were there, I bar mitzvahed them. I haven't seen them since."

Ha! If there's anything Jews do, it's write down religious instructions. :)

Ya, well organized religion isn't really my thing but my Tallis holds some pretty strong sentimental value and while I may never wear it again, I don't want to ruin it.

I consulted my Rabbi, and he says:

Yeah, to be honest, I've never heard of washing a tallit any way other than dry cleaning. And there was a time when I was among family that wore their tallit every day.

Interesting. Thanks.

Not sure when I'd find myself in the Pico/Robinson area but if I do I'll be sure to bring it with me.

Call a local synagogue, they might know a place.

Or Febreze it.
