Treat stains promptly!
Fresh stains are much easier to remove than old ones.

Please note that some shielding fabrics are not washable at all, and some can be hand washed only.  Please read and follow washing instructions that come with your product.

Water quality may affect the Silver fibres and could damage the fabric.

In particular low pH, Fluoride, Sulphur, may react strongly with Silver and heavily degrade conductivity and shielding performance.

Test your tap water on a small part of the fabric before washing your apparel:

  • Soak a small part of the fabric in tap water for about 1 hour.
  • Take note of any colour change in the water or wet area (especially darkening or blackening).
  • Air-dry and if possible, check for conductivity (by touching an Ohm meter to 2 points on the fabric).

If a colour change or loss of conductivity occurs, DO NOT use tap water to wash/rinse your fabric. We highly recommend using reverse osmosis or distilled water.

Use a gentle soap to help protect the Silver in the shielding fabric for a longer lifetime.  Washing eventually degrades all fabrics and Silver fibres are no exception.

Gentle hand washing can be done easily at home with cool or lukewarm water.  Soak the garment in the soap and water solution, and then let it sit for up to five minutes to soak out any set in dirt. Slowly squeeze the garment under the solution for a minute. Rinse carefully with cool water and gently squeeze all excess water from the garment, using a towel to absorb excess water.


Reshape the garment and allow it to dry flat.  While still damp, hang it without wrinkles away from direct sunlight.

Lastly, make sure the garments are thoroughly dry before storing them away.
