Can this be sprayed on clothing? I am traveling to India and will be using Ultrathon lotion for exposed skin and want something natural for clothes

I don't think you can spray it on clothing- its more like a squirt than a spray. I did put some on my hands,rubbed them together and 'patted' my clothing as well as any bare skin showing.

I would say not, as it comes out more like lotion that you have to rub in. The product is wonderful though. I spent a week at Boy Scout camp in the woods, applied this twice a day and maybe got one or two bites compared to the boys who had 30+ each!!!

Hi Paula, Sorry I can't answer that because I mainly use it on my legs. How about spraying it on a back brush (loofah)? Otherwise my husband would do it for me. Chris

Yes; I traveled to west Africa with this product and no problems at all. It didn't leak ( I did carry in a zip lock bag just in Case) and only bitten when I forgot to apply the spray. I hope this helps.m

I apply it to my skin with no problems. Just don't use a lot of it for it can give you a rash. I love this stuff it works better than prescription meds. I use it for nueropothy.

No it is a poor choice for that due to the narrow, large particle spray produced and that Deet is somewhat oily and bad for some synthetic materials. A better clothing spray would have Permethrin as the active ingredient instead of Deet and be either an aerosol or large trigger style pump container. Plus, Deet washes out right away so no protection after clothing is washed, making it less economical in the long term.

I have used this on my legs and arms but it must be mixed with a lotion. depending on the sensitivity of your skin this could actually burn your skin so you really must be cautious with using this product.

I used this powder paint for my engagement photos... It's totally safe. It stains light clothing but came off our skin after just one shower.

I put it right against my skin. Don't believe it will work through clothes it says to put against your skin

The bottle doesn't give an SPF. Because fabric gets a little stiff after treatment, I'm not sure I'd use it on clothing.

I sprayed it on furniture, carpet, and bedding. I don't see why you couldn't spray it on clothing. However it does have a strong smell so be cautious.

I haven't had any issues with residue/powder on my clothing or floor. The main thing is to shake the bottle well and spray a few inches away from your hair. Tussling with one hand as you do it also helps to create volume. Hope that helps.

i would think so and would try it myself. have used it on fine natural fabrics as well as synthetics w/ excellent results. the spray dries to a powder on surface which is then brushed off easily. seems to lift stain w/out deep penetration into fabric. best spot cleaner i have ever used. (like the idea from another reply to use vacuum cleaner to remove powder)

No, I used it to spray my clothing before I went to Haiti to keep mosquitoes off of me. Chikungunya was being transmitted and it really helped with that. I did not get any bites.

You need to dilute it before anything. Then it depends on what your applying it to- I used it on clothing. Some who bought it for clothing dilute it in a bucket of water and then let their clothes soak in it. This seems wasteful to me. I just diluted it in a empty spray bottle and then sprayed it on my clothes and let it dry. I am sure this application method could be used for other uses as well.

One of the instructions on the can states " avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing" It also says For use on: metal, aluminum, galvanized metal, PVC, concrete, masonry,asphalt roofing, vinyl siding and fiberglass.So I WOULD NOT USE IT ON CLOTHING....

Yes, but only a little. When you buy something, you expect it to perform. Deet does this remarkably well. Better than anything I've ever tried. Many promise, only Deet delivers. I haven't found that it damages clothes, is uncomfortable, or anything that is undesirable. I like the aroma: it gives you confidence that you will not be bothered by any pest for as long as you work or play outside. A light spray and I'm good for a whole day of yard work without worry. Best stuff I ever found. If you think it's too oily, rub it in when you spray on skin. Otherwise just spray on clothing.

More complete waterproofing than sprays. It covers every area of the garment not just what you spray. No residue that I have seen in the washer or dryer. I have used it for the past few ski seasons to revive the DWR on my family's ski clothing with great success. The only comment I have on this is it works best on clothes that had a DWR finish originally. Use a different Gear Aid water-proofer if you are trying to add water-proofing to a garment or bag that was not water-proof when new.
