Hand-wash when there's time. Otherwise, I just accept that these are on their way out of my life. Clothes: Launder gently and only when necessary...not that that's really specific to plastic clothes. Electronics, etc.: Wipe off with a rag that is damp with warm water and mild detergent. I know water and gadgets souns like a no-no, but I haven't had any problems. All: Keep out of the sun! Photodegradation will wear it out over time. [I feel a little funny posting...I'm a blog-world lurker...don't usually comment. But just wanted to thank you for all of your DC-area low-plastic tips! It's a tough fight and every little bit of help is appreciated.] Remaining plastic food containers: Never microwave. Hand-wash when there’s time.

Food containers? Furniture? Electronics? Cat litter boxes? :-) That would help. I guess I’d like to know what kind of items you’re talking about? Food containers? Furniture? Electronics?
