Default RE: Drying Clothes????

WantBuck,

This is what I was told, by a factory rep. at a Walls Outlet store near my home.

She told me the worst thing you could do to Camo clothing is to wash them with detergent that has UV brightners. She recommended on name brand in particular that wouldn't hurt the color and it was Arm and Hammer clothes detergent, which I use lightly and religiously now. She also said to dry the camo clothes on low heat.

Another note that I have first hand experience with is hanging clothes on a line in the yard. Years ago before my mother had a clothes dryer she hung all our clothes outside on a clothes line. She repetedly told us it was the worst thing you could do to color clothing. The sunlight will actually bleach them out, and she always hung our better colored clothing in the wash room. Of course I think hanging them outside is better from the scent standpoint.

Hope that helps some.
