fiberglass insulation?
 
Its the pink insulation in the walls?
How do you get in off clothes, toys, carpeting, etc.
Is it true that i might as well throw out all the stuffed animals that it came into contact with? I was told this because of the small hairs can become embedded in them.

Thanks!!!!

Unfortunately there is no way to completely remove fiberglass from clothing. If you try washing, make sure not to wash them with anything NOT already contaminated. Wipe the washer and dryer afterwards, and then wash them at least once again.

Remember, these are hairs of GLASS embedded in clothes and toys. :(

Good wishes with this.

Well it's a risk- but I won't tell you how many times hubby & I and older kids worked with that kind of insulation when remodeling our place.:o
We only did basic precautions - goggles , mouth & nose covered and long sleeves, long pants - then vacuuming & wiping down when done.
Then just hoped for the best ...

the particles are very fine.
If young children are in the home, clean as much as you can and as best you can and toss anything questionable.
I'm thinking playing on the floor and putting things in mouth.
