Wear waterproof gloves when handling pesticide-soiled clothing. Dispose of the waterproof gloves using guidelines on the pesticide container labels. Do not use gloves for any other household task. Wash the gloves thoroughly before removing them. Wash clothing as soon as possible after each day's use.
Residue removal is less complete as concentration of pesticide increases.
The concentration of pesticide in fabric builds with successive exposures, and the more concentrated the pesticide, the more difficult it is to remove in laundering. Research at Nebraska shows that pesticide residues at the end of five days of repeated contamination were greater in fabrics laundered on the fifth day than in fabrics laundered each of the five days. Additionally, the pesticide residue in the waste water from laundering only on the fifth day was much greater than the waste water from the fabrics laundered daily. If the presoak cycle on the automatic washer is used, let the presoak water drain, then refill with fresh water for detergent washing. Launder separately from other clothing .
