Help! Wife washed/dried my marino

[HuntInWild88]

Ok. So wife washed and dried my Marino shirt and pants..used fabric softener and everything.
What now?
Does it really damage it that much?

I wash and dry mine a couple times a year, and I have some items that are like 7 years old that are still in good condition.

Doubt it.

I've washed my minus 33 expedition stuff countless times. Could shrink a bit I suppose?

 

[Sccritterkiller]

It's ruined send to me and I will dispose of it properly..as long as it didn't shrink you should be fine...

How long did it take for you to pack her crap?

Exactly. No big deal. I usually try and hang dry mine but the wife doesn't always care about my merino.

All I’ve ever done is machine wash and dry my FL merino, never had an issue doing this.

I’d only be concerned about it shrinking…. And being a 3XL guy, I’d be livid. My wife knows that I’ve wash all my gear, that it’s only Graingers performance wash, and hang dry

As long as it didn’t shrink, you can re-wash on a delicate cycle with Wool Wash or some other product with lanolin in it to re-moisturize the fibers. Then hang them to dry, or use an ultra-delicate dry cycle

Rewash with half a box of baking soda only. Don’t let your wife near the machine. Hang dry.

What brand of wool?
I wash and dry my wool (Kuiu, blackovis)with no issues?

I wash my merino a couple times a year… I hang dry it, but I’ve dried a couple pieces before wanting to get out for another hunt. I don’t see any problems with it. Only thing you might need to do is put it in a non smelling detergent to get the smell off

Be good time to cut weight for next season if it shrunk up!

I wash and dry mine on occasion, no harm done. Biggest thing to avoid with any hunting clothing is detergents with optical brightener in them (the stuff that makes white clothes whiter). Basically, optical brighteners absorb UV light and re-emit that energy in the form of visible light, making you more visible to game.

I wash and dry, in a machine, my merino as needed. Have for years with no issues.

I didn’t know I had to treat my clothing so delicately… swing away Merrill.

 

[sndmn11]

I wash mine with my normal clothes weekly on cold, and dry on delicate. Literally, weekly. Stuff is fine.

 

[butcherboy]

Yep, wash mine all the time and dry on a delicate cycle, air only, or hang to dry. If it’s not bloody then I just wash in cold water, no detergent.

 

[grfox92]

I wash mine like it's regular laundry. Never had an issue and keep it for years.

Cold water, All Free and Clear soap, hang to dry. Lasts years and years with almost daily use.
