Say, as I suppose is possible, a guy didn't know this particular bit of info and had, at one time or another, dried a load or two of laundry, which included shirts of this wicking-type material, with a dryer sheet. Would said hypothetical guy be able to restore the wicking properties of said hypothetical shirts by washing them again? Or, does this magical dryer sheet crap coat the shirts for eternity?
