Only if you hang it out at night to dry

...but it won't dry at night in Canterbury.

Maybe not but it will freeze

Not sure that helps me. Wife delights in running our dryer 24/7 so will get her to put the clothes through that (at night).

It's the ducks that will be hugely tuned to UV because many birds use UV reflective markings for mate selection. Deer appear to be sensitive to it too....and particularity sensitive to the color blue.

Haven't read the whole thread but I find a 'wash and hold' on cold, with no soap powder (never use soap powder!) gets rid of blood no problems. I leave the machine on hold overnight, then drain, spin and then do another rinse cycle.

Am always amazed at how well the clothing comes up after a simple cold water wash, after going into the machine looking like a murder scene and stinking of stag urine, death and pig shit. I wear Ridgeline, German surplus and Tru-Spec trousers mostly.

I just don't show the wife what it looks (and smells) like before it goes in her machine.

I don't really believe the UV glowing cloths bs , my old boss used to buy the sports wash stuff for years & did it make a noticeable diff nope , in the bush at close quarters there's plenty of things that will give the game up ,glowing UV cloths im a non believer , everything just gets a normal wash but I don't really wash my jackets as that's just an outer shell so its only blood , touch of mud , I just hang them out to dry .
