1. Can the reflective vest be washed?
The answer is: yes! But before washing, please be sure to read the washing label on the vest carefully and follow the recommendations and requirements on the label. The correct washing method can not only remove stains, but also maintain the good performance of the reflective vest.

2. Precautions for washing
When washing reflective vests, please follow the following precautions:

Mild washing: It is recommended to use neutral detergent, avoid using strong acid, strong alkali or detergent containing bleach, so as not to damage the reflective material.
Hand washing priority: try to choose hand washing to avoid friction damage caused by machine washing. If you must use a washing machine, put the vest in a laundry bag on the gentle cycle.
Washing temperature: The water temperature should not be too high, it is recommended to wash below 30°C, so as not to affect the performance of the reflective material.
Drying method: Avoid direct sunlight, choose a ventilated, cool place to dry, and avoid using a dryer to dry.
Do not iron: Avoid ironing reflective vests with an iron as this can damage the reflective material.
3. Technical requirements and parameters of water washing in relevant product standards
Relevant product standards, such as EN ISO 20471:2013, have clear technical requirements and parameters for the number of washings and washing temperature of reflective vests. For example, according to the standards, some levels of reflective vests still need to meet the standard requirements after 25 times of washing.
