Potassium dichromate in clothes...?

Question

I spilled some potassium dichromate solution (about 0.02 M; the stain's a little larger than a quarter) on my jeans. I know it's pretty toxic; are there any special precautions I should take to wash it? Can it just go in the washing machine, or should I try to get the stain out and dispose of it with lab hazmat (and if so, what should I use to wash it out?)

Answer 1

K2Cr2O7 is very water soluble, so just put the jeans in the washer and your troubles will be over. The amount is too small to bother with.
