tips on cleaning gear for the mrs !

[Bertz]

Obviously wearing gear out in the woods and taking hits, stuff gets dirty clothes wise.

normally i hand the wife my **** and by magic its nice & clean , but she threw me a curve ball yesterday saying its hand wash only.

any tips can it be washed in a machine or does this effect the padding etc , sinks to small, so she suggested the bath .
I offered to help (but i didnt mean it)

Hose off mud.
Low heat machine wash.
Hang out to dry.

so you can get away with a low heat wash then without any internal damage to padding and so on.
ok sounds good to me and more to her , thanks

washed my kit in the machine countless times but i had an unfortunate incident where the crotch area must have caught in the edge of the drum and got sliced clean off. so now i need to buckle those trousers up with a belt, so watch out!

All I saw on this thread was crouch sliced clean off lmao.

I hand washed my kit for about a year it held its colour better than all of my team mates. But the countless grief for leaving the plug full of mud and shell I ended up getting most of the crap off by hand then putting them in the was wih cold water. Then high speed spin before hanging because the kit holds onto that much water

Toss it all in a pod bag for the wash?
I rarely wash my gear in the machine. Unless its massive muddy. I tend to let it fester in funk until I can't take it anymore or the wife complains

Haha sorry pal she has standards :L and I think she would rather be doing my washing haah
