Ammonia and liquid soap or SA8 are good.If you must, most fabric softeners are OK.Rinse thoroughly at least twice in clean cold water after washing.After a strong, sweaty session ALWAYS hang your damp gi up to dry. Never leave it in a bag.In case of stains, blood, coffee, tea, etc., soak immediately in cold water. Then with a couple of tablespoons of EITHER bicarbonate soda or borax dissolved in cold water for a few hours. Then rinse and wash as usual. Hydrogen Peroxide also works well on fresh stains without damaging fabric.Make sure your Budo-Gear is thoroughly dry before storing.Cotton items survive tumble dryers well and retain their shape if you immediately remove and hang them.Items containing polyester must NOT be dried with high heat but hung up to dry naturally or using low heat under supervision. text/html 2007-04-21T09:20:49+01:00 http://www.budo-gear.com http://www.budo-gear.com/content/view/26/ ADDITIONAL SAVINGSAll prices on this Budo-Gear site are defined in Australian dollars (AUD).
