HydroWick Washing Instructions

Care and Use Considerations

Actual life of a 3M Scotchlite™ Reflective Material depends on the cleaning method and wear conditions. Some of these variables may include, but are not limited to:

• Actual use, frequency of wear
• Wash conditions (e.g. wash temperature, bleach, drying, ironing, dry-cleaning, abrasion)
• Number of times the product has been washed
• Exposure conditions (e.g. chemical environmental, and temperature)
• Abrasion
• Age of garment
• Maintenance
• Product placement
• Method of manufacturing

When in combination, these variable and others may affect the performance of the product.

Exposure Notice

Exposure to concrete elements can be detrimental to retroreflective striping and hi-visibility background colors mandated by ANSI/ISEA 107-2004.

The various elements used in the pouring of concrete (e.g. chlorine fumes, saline from sweat, concrete dust, etc.) can cause an ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 garment to lose its color in as little as 48 hours, depending on exposure proximity.

The above should be taken under consideration when purchasing.
