[atree]

I wash mine weekly.

Some people seem to think chainsaw trousers have some magical power that means they never need washed

[Graham]

I remember looking at the label on my last pair and it stated a max of twenty washes and then to throw them away!

Any one else recon they destroy washing machines ??my mum used to go through one a year and not a cheap one either with me and my father in the house washing are saw trousers weekly. when they came to fix it, there would usually be saw dust clogging up some vital component or the cause for the damage.

Most trouser brands state in the instructions that even moderate soiling impairs the cut retardent, it also states so does washing so.....:confused1:

30 degrees quick wash like all the other clothes, then in the tumble drier.

 

Hi, I got Stihl Hiflex's and i think i they recommend to wash them roughly on a weekly basis. too much washing damages the protective fibres but no regular washing is also detrimental - think the fibres settle and dont protect so well..

 

I'm pretty sure that tumble drying is not recommended by the manufacurers but i guess its up to you.
