What should be done after laundering clothes used in pesticide application?

After laundering clothes used in pesticide application, running a full cycle with detergent to remove residues is essential for ensuring safety and preventing any harmful pesticide exposure. Pesticides can leave residues on clothing, and simply air drying or using fabric softener would not adequately clean these residues.

By using a full wash cycle with detergent, the chemicals are more effectively broken down and removed from the fabric. This not only protects the wearer from potential pesticide exposure but also ensures that any contaminated clothing does not transfer harmful chemicals onto other fabrics or surfaces. Storing clothes in a damp location could promote mold growth and does not address the need to clean any pesticide residues after use. Therefore, the best course of action is to thoroughly wash the clothing with detergent to maintain a safe environment.
