Hey docs, just wanted to know if i could wash clothes with pepper spray on them in my washer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wash separately: "Wash contaminated clothing separate from other clothes. Clothing which can safely be washed should be washed with laundry detergent in cool or cold water. It may take more than one washing to fully remove the capsicum oleoresin oils. " REF: https://poison.vcu.edu/media/va-poison-center/docs/factsheets/PepperSprays-Clothingdecontamination.pdf
