BillM Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 What does the tag on the inside say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I would scrub it manually with soap and water, rinse with the hose or in the shower, hang to dry. Mechanical action in the washer won't do the seams any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave it alone. It'll float better if you don't touch it. In the meantime, it appears you've found the ideal place to hide your spending money.

Woodsman Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 From my Helly Hanson -hand wash -hang dry -no bleach -no ironing -no dry cleaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 If you don't need a hiding place for your cash, this is the proper way to look after your suit....not only your brand, all brands. Wash the suit with a mild detergent and hang to dry. Do NOT have dry cleaned, do NOT use bleach and NEVER put it in a drier. Only put the suit away once it has dried completely else you will find mildew stains on it. That's it, that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cram Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 If you machine wash it use a front loader, not a top loader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mukluk Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hand washed my Mustang one-piece floater suit with warm water and mild soap. Rinsed well and hung to dry. Now when I put it on I have biceps like "popeye". Chest and leg areas are ok; just the insulation material in the arms that balled-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobkayla Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 thanks for the info,,,as for the money i think she can find that no matter where i hide it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cram Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Safest is hand-wash, but for the record my helly hansen alpha washed up just fine. Just use a front loader (no agitator to get wrapped up on) and use gentle cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCranksalot Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Be wary of using any detergents. I have a fairly expensive sleeping bag. It's not down but the manuf.(via e-mail from website) recommended a ertain type of "technical wash" (I think they called it) made by Nikiwax. They also recc a front end loaded washer.
