It has been my experience that it is almost impossible to remove propolis
from clothing.  I used to wash and dry covealls and ruin my wife's clothing
occassionally.  Then I switched to a wash and hang routine and have not had
any problems.  I simply hang coveralls to dry.  If they do not dry fast
enough for you to wear then buy more coveralls.
