Sport Wash Bottle 18oz

Sport-Wash Residue Free Detergent 

Sport-Wash is safe for all washable fabrics, and yet powerful enough to remove odors and your toughest stains such as soil, blood, and grass. 

Its secret is that unlike other detergents designed to leave brighteners, fragrances, and other residue behind, Sport-Wash rinses completely. Nothing is left on your clothing to clog the pores of your fabric. Cotton, wool, and synthetic materials and left completely clean. Insulation like down, Thinsulate, and Hollofil fluff up for maximum warmth. And even difficult to clean sportswear materials such as Gore-Tex have their waterproofing and breathability restored. 

The total rinsability of Sport-Wash leaves nothing behind to smell, clog, or radiate UV glow from brighteners. While Sport-Wash does not contain phosphates to “brighten” your clothes, you’ll find it does not need them because on its own it leaves fabrics cleaner than any other detergent. 

In addition, if you or any members of your family have sensitive skin or are allergic to the residue left behind by commercial detergents, Sport-Wash eliminates the rash, redness, and irritation you’ve suffered through with other detergents. No more itchy, irritated skin. 

Sport-Wash is safe and effective even for “delicate care” fabrics. It will remove stains and odors without harming bright colors. It likely costs less per load than your regular laundry detergent and completely eliminates the need for fabric softener (another source of odor and chemical irritation).

UV Killer

U-V-Killer blocks ultraviolet reflection and luminescence. For all fabric, camouflage, and blaze orange. One bottle will treat two sets of hunting clothes.

The original U-V-Killer and Sport-Wash Combo Pack has changed how hunters think about camouflage. It has been proven that animals and birds have sensitivity to ultraviolet light and the 438nm short-blue wavelengths that humans are blind to. U-V-Killer absorbs U-V wavelengths and thereby eliminates the blue glow caused by fabric dyes and detergents that contain U-V brighteners.

U-V Killer and Sport-Wash are two revolutionary products which eliminate the brighteners from your camouflage. They make your camouflage almost invisible to the keen eyes of deer and other game.

First wash new or soiled garments in Sport-Wash. Then spray on U-V-Killer. U-V-Killer absorbs the ultraviolet light and literally kills the blue-white glow which animals and birds so easily see on untreated garments.

1. For those that don’t already know, you can keep your camo pattern looking sharper longer by washing them inside out with the pants and shirt buttoned. It works.

2. DTG,
   Good to know, thanks!

3. Something else to keep in mind is that the UV dyes in commercial detergents are permanent. The UV Killer masks them, but they’re still there. If you can’t get the Sport-Wash stuff, many detergents intended for washing baby clothes do not contain brighteners; they also tend to have less harsh chemicals and many do not have scents either, and so are probably easier on the skin when you’re sweaty and dirty from training, and might be a decent alternative.

   This is an important consideration, given that NOD is no longer just infrared. UV-enhanced clothing is more visible through NOD devices, so keeping your cammies dull can be a critical issue.

5. almost all hunting clothes(deer) wash don’t have UV brighteners and are scent free.
