Can we use this on our clothing? We're heading to the Amazon and want to avoid bug bites!

I wrote to the manufacturer and the response was, "This is not labeled for use on clothing." My question to them was, "Are there petroleum products in this formula?" There was no response to this specific question, so I presume that there ARE petroleum products included in this formula.

You can dilute it with water an make a great insect repellent. I would use about an ounce of Permethrin to 15 ounces water. That will give you a .0625% solution, which is a little higher than store bought tick spray.

Not sure but this has a very strong smell. I will honestly use something else for clothing if I were you. GL

You must make it into a repellant and apply it to your skin. Try googling "natural bug spray recipes". Best of luck!

I would worry about the oils ruining certain clothes...it would be safe in jeans or other rough material

I would not use this with chemicals unless you want to replace clothing. I have seen it done, but it is safer to use some kind of cloth lined waterproof/chemical proof cape. They are available at beauty supply stores.

I used it two different ways.. I used almond oil to dilute it in a small spray bottle and i have also used it full strength placing a dab on wrists, elbows, neck, chest , ankles etc.. it works well for me in the summer repelling mosquitos.. i get eaten up by them if i don't use it!! You can mist your clothing.. careful cause it is an oil.. and also the area your sleeping in.. smells ok too.. kinda earthy.. have fun on your trip!!

No, it is only used on plants or outside the home. You must wear protective clothing when using it.

Yes, but it is a contact poison, so you must hit the bug with the spray. It does not last long once sprayed either, but this is par for the course with organic pesticides.

I used Pine Sol and shutting off the central heat to kill bed bugs in an apartment that had moved over from next door. I wanted to use d-limonene but is was too expensive. It would work however selling products designed to kill living creatures is serious business and strictly regulated. Use at your own risk knowing that this is safer for your family then most pesticides that are sold and regulated. And for cleaning it's certainly safer than laundry bleach however one should were protective goggles when using any of cleaning product. Well, you can skip them for the baby shampoo.

I wouldn't risk using it for clothing. I don't think it is suitable and would be concerned about ink bleed.

I don't know. To prevent Ticks use Permethrin on your clothes and other outdoor gear.

It depends on your chemistry. Personally, I was disappointed in the product. I'm in Florida and it did not protect against no-see-ums completely. However, bugs are drawn to me more than anyone I'm with at any given time, and it did work for the others. Seems Deep Woods Off or Bullfrog are the things that work for my skin, although one contains DEET and the other is a spray.

I bought the KIWI CAMP DRY for a friend and she is a real OUTDOORS GIRL!!! She used it on her shoes. It worked great on her canvas and rubber hiking shoes! I'm guess they would work ok with jeans as a water REPELLENT but I would contact the manufacturer of your jeans and make sure your jean are a STAY FAST COLOR so as the spray is worked into the jean fabric, it doesn't mess with the color of your jeans. Some jeans can be very expensive and I would hate to see you mess of the color!!! If they are just cheap work or cheap everyday jeans, I wouldn't be to concerned! Also check on the prices of SCOTCH-GUARD and FABRIC-GUARD. Each of these products might be a bit cheaper and they are designed for fabrics!!!! Hope this helps out some and things workout for you. Have a nice weekend, a fellow Amazon member

I am not sure on this but I think it can be used in that application. It can be used on clothing so I assume it would OK.

My GUESS is that it would not be the best solution as it might leave a oily residue on your clothing. I would think that a good leather cleaner and conditioner would be a better solution. i would look at a car products store for something like that.

I'm sure it can be, I use it on my jackets for the winter waterfowler season on Long Island in NY. I also ut it on my cotton hats for the summer to bead the spray away while on my boat. It's like rain-x for clothing. Just spot check it to make sure it is compatible. Remember it's petroleum based. No synthetics

I wouldn't use this for something that was going to be worn against the skin: the chemicals in this product aren't rated/tested for that kind of use. Maybe try some products from your local fabric store for your purposes.

I have no laboratory proof that preexisting germs on the clothes are killed. I do think that clothes are protected from new infestation.
