Care & Laundering of Your Battle Dress Uniform

Before washing your Battle Dress Uniform (BDU), follow these instructions:

• Do not use bleach.
• Do not use hot water in the washing machine.
• Do not use the "NORMAL" or "HOT" temperature settings in the dryer.
• If ironing is required, set the iron on "SYNTHETIC" or "LOW". NOTE: If hot water or hot temperatures (in excess of 130 degrees) are used on the BDU, this will cause irreversible damage.

Machine Washing - Set the water temperature on "WARM", never "HOT", and use the "WASH & WEAR" or "PERMAPRESS" cycle only. Use a detergent designed for warm or cool water washing and NEVER USE CHLORINE BLEACH.

Machine Drying - Use the "PERMAPRESS" cycle or low heat setting. "NORMAL" heat setting will be too hot. Remove all items immediately after drying. Do not allow clothes to sit in the dryer — they will wrinkle.
