8. Unfortunately, it's a bit too late

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice; one of my favorite things about DU is that there are plenty of folks here who hold just as adamant views about chemicals and toxins and pollutants and whatnot as I do.

Unfortunately, my thread was something of a "closing the barn door after the horse has already escaped" thread; I had already dried the formaldehyde-infused clothing, on heat, in the dryer, before starting this thread..........I wonder, does the heat make the formaldehyde residue "burn off," or "burn away," so to speak, so that through continuous vaporizing, there eventually won't be any formaldehyde residue left?

I'm not so much concerned about the formaldehyde in the clothing as I am concerned about the dryer walls still holding on to that formaldehyde stuff for a long time.
