U-V-KILLER INFORMATION 
U-V-Killer Application Tips and FAQ 
Important: First wash garment in Sport-Wash. Scent-Free Sport-Wash rinses 100% removing all 
traces of old soap residue, grease, oil, dirt, and sizing that would prevent U-V-Killer from forming a 
bond with the fabric. Other soaps do not rinse out and they leave behind residue. Sport-Wash is safe 
for all fabrics and dyes. 
Spray Dry Garments. Spray till surface is covered. Imagine you are applying a color and don't want 
the former color to show thru. Brushing with a small brush will make coverage more uniform. A 
ultraviolet (UV) light can reveal "missed" spots even while U-V-Killer is still wet. U-V-Killer extends 
the life of fabric five times from sun rot. 
Fleeced or Insulated Garments. Extra care is required. You need to apply only a thin invisible 
coating. Spray a small area at a time. Use small stiff brush to raise froth on surface. Froth or foam 
bubbles keep the UV absorbing dye out on the visible surface while it dries. (This prevents the dye 
from soaking deep into the fabric where it will have no optical value). Deep soaking not only 
wastes U-V-Killer but will cause stiffness in heavy fabrics. 
You may check the effectiveness and completeness of your application with a fluorescent black light. 
The bulb should appear dark VIOLET when not lit and will be labeled "BLB". These are often used in 
bug zappers and we have a battery powered pocket unit available. Most paper contains UV 
brighteners and you can spray a spot to see how it will darken where U-V-Killer is applied. 
All Fluorescent Orange has UV-Brighteners and most of it is water repellent. We have enhanced the 
wetting power of U-V-Killer for easier, more permanent application on Blaze Orange and other water 
repellent fabrics. You can be safe, legal, and successful. 
Treated garments may be worn when completely dry, but 72 hours of adequate ventilation is 
required for the bond to reach full durability and for the garment to be scent free. Re-washing, 
waterproofing, and cover scent applications should be delayed for this 72 hours. The U-V-
Killer treatment is designed to be permanent, and on most fabrics it will endure for the life of the 
garment. 
A single washing in commercial detergents, fabric softeners, and or "Color Safe" bleach (while not 
removing the treatment) will render the U-V-Killer useless by depositing new brightener dyes on top 
of it. 
Always wash a load of non-hunting clothes in Sport-Wash prior to washing your treated camo & 
blaze orange in order to remove residual brighteners from your washer and dryer. It is recommended 
that you confirm the absence of brighteners each season using a UV light.

clothing. When applying U-V-Killer , wash your hands when you are finished as there is no advantage to treating your skin. 2. Will U-V-Killer cause my camo to fade or discolor? No. It will in fact protect your camo from fading caused by ultraviolet radiation. U-V-Killer is specifically formulated to be compatible with the dyes and fabrics used in the manufacturing of clothing. Poly/Cotton camo cloth tree blinds last 5 times as long if treated with U-V-Killer .

The second possibility is that the application wasn't sufficient. Excess brighteners on the cloth will float to the surface of the U-V-Killer treatment. These excess brighteners must be removed by first washing with Sport-Wash. Wash twice if in doubt. Clean old detergent residue (which is full of brighteners) from washer by washing non-camouflage clothing inSport-Wash before washing your camo. Be sure to dry your camo (according to the care tag instructions) before treating with U-VKiller .

16. What about use on Carbon Suits? All suits using carbon, charcoal, abscents, or any absorber or adsorber for odor control should be washed only in Sport-Wash. Treatment with U-V-Killer does not stop these garments from working. Remember other detergents leave residue which will clog up carbon suits and stop them from absorbing / adsorbing odor molecules.

With the help of feedback from some of the thousands of hunters who now have UV lights, we have identified difficult-to-treat items and special methods to treat them. Sometimes you can encounter a fabric that is not water repellent and appears initially to cover well, but when dry, it appears not to have been treated at all.
