I have a pair of slippers that are totally saturated from laundry detergent. How do I get it out?

I was gone for about a week and most of the bottle of detergent seeped out onto one of my slippers. I%26#039;ve tried rinsing them out but after 20 minutes they were still sudsy. They are slippers that aren%26#039;t supposed to go into the washer. Whats the best (and quickest) way to get it out so I can wear my slippers?

You are not going to be able to wear them today. First you will have to soak them in SEVERAL changes of COLD water. They are probably listed as not washable because hot water will make the glue separate. Then you will have to dry them on the lowest setting of your dryer or even the air only setting. It will probably take them overnight to dry. Good luck!
Reply:Rinse them several times and then soak them in white vinegar to neutralize the detergent and rinse them again until there are no more suds. You may have to repeat the process several times until all of the detergent is gone. Squeeze out the excess water. Then if you have a rack for the dryer where the drum turns while the rack stays stationary or a shoe dryer bag that attaches to the back of the dryer door, air dry them so they don%26#039;t mold or mildew.
Reply:wash,wash, wash, throw them away, go to Kmart, or the dollar store,
Reply:I would keep rinsing them out. It may take awhile, but just keep doing it until it%26#039;s out. Have you tried putting the slippers in a pillow case and tie the end. Then put it in the washer on gentle cycle? I do this for some of my stuff that can%26#039;t go in the washer. They always come out fine. Just let them air dry after the wash. I hope this helps.
