Leslie Green asks:

I am allergic to washing powder, but I don’t want my shirt to smell. The dermatologist has told me to reduce the total amount of washing powder residue on my shirt to less than 1 pico-gram. (I think he just made that number up on the spot!)

My dry shirt measures 280g, but after washing and spin-drying it weighs 350g. The washing and rinsing uses 21 L of fresh water for each operation. I wash my shirt with one 30g tablet of washing powder.

How many times do I have to rinse my shirt to reach the required non-allergenic state?

(remember that the density of water is 1g / mL, 1000 mL = 1 L, 1 pico-gram = 10^-12g).
