Default Cleaning your Underwear

My nomex underwear says to dry clean... but who wants to dry clean underwear everytime you wear it. Is it safe to hand wash this stuff?

I'd say cold water with woolite would be ok along with laying flat to dry. I'm sure they say dry clean only because some detergents can leave a residue that reduces the effectiveness of the nomex to be fire retardant.

What is that?





I would say that it's safe to wash it in the machine on delicate with some woolite! That is how I was my nomex stuff!
