Is There A Method We Might Use To Remove Fiberglass Insulation From Cotton Clothing?
I know of no method to chemically remove the fiberglass without harming the clothing. Depending on the amount of fiberglass in the fabric, it could be brushed out with a boars hairbrush, or removed using tape or other sticky material applied to the surface of the clothing.

Textile Services Industry Gets National Spotlight
WILIMGTON, Mass. — Textile service executive Ronald Croatti recently appeared on the CBS-TV show “Undercover Boss.” Croatti is CEO of UniFirst Corp., in Wilmington, Mass.

Our huge economies of scale allow laundries to use about two-thirds less water, energy and detergent than alternatives, such as washing at home, while hygienically cleaning textile products, improving disease control and reducing contamination.”
