How to Wash and Preserve Anti-Mosquito ClothingUpdated 4 hours ago

To preserve the effectiveness of the anti-insect treatment and extend your garment's lifespan, machine wash at 30°C using a gentle detergent and allow it to air-dry. Always refer to the internal care label before washing.

Washing

• Prep before washing: Turn your garment inside out, close all zips, fasten buttons, and secure all Velcro tabs to prevent snagging.
• Temperature & cycle: Machine wash on a synthetic or delicate cycle at 30°C maximum.
• Use a mild detergent: Opt for an eco-friendly liquid detergent or a mild cleaner without aggressive additives.
• No harsh chemicals: Never use fabric softener, bleach, or aggressive stain removers. Softeners coat technical fibres, while harsh chemicals strip away the insect-repellent active ingredients and degrade UPF sun protection.

Drying

• Line-dry naturally: Hang your garment on a line or drying rack to dry naturally in a shaded, well-ventilated space, away from direct radiators or stoves.
• Skip the tumble dryer: Avoid tumble drying. High heat breaks down technical finishes and accelerates the loss of the repellent treatment.
