Washing undergarments, probably a stupid question.

[formernuke]

My neck seal leaked so I have salt water wet undergarments. When I got home I realized I'm out of woolite so I'm planing to gentle cycle them with just water.

So the stupid question is that good enough or should I rewash them tommorow after I get some more woolite?

Wouldn’t hurt. Question - what undies do you have? Cold, gentle, with normal laundry detergent (small amount) should be just fine on fleece/wool undies. I use Tide. What detergent do you usually use?

Tide normally. First dive with the aqualung fusion undergarment. I'm also doing my wool base layer, socks and underwear with them since with a neck leak it all got wet.

I just wash my undergarments with the same regular stuff we use for our other clothes, always come out like brand new.

Tide will be fine! Just make sure the Fusion undersuit is zipped up. I wash all my undies - fleece and wool - together in the same load. You don't need to use Woolite. Remember - gentle and cold. HANG DRY the Fusion undersuit.

EDIT: If you ever need to dry the Fusion undersuit with short time before your next dive day, the lowest heat setting on your dryer won't kill it. I wouldn't do it all the time, but occasionally doesn't hurt.

My lowest is air only so that might work.

Air is no heat. Putting it on the lowest heat setting will be OK occasionally.

I use a "tech wash" that is marketed for performance clothes, so it won't leave a residue that may interfere with insulation or wicking properties. If I didn't have that, I'd use just water until I could get some.

Exactly my dryer has a zero heat just air pumping and rotation setting.
