The Step-by-Step Laundry Protocol

  1. Pre-Wash (Cold / Warm Cycle): A short cycle with a small dose of detergent to flush away the majority of urea and soil before high heat is applied.
  2. Main Wash (Hot 60°C / 140°F): The intensive heavy-duty cycle with full detergent dosage to chemically break down bacteria, fats, and organic proteins.
  3. Double Clear Rinse: Inspect rinse water to ensure zero bubbles or foam remain, confirming no surfactant residues linger on the fibers.
  4. Air Drying / Low Tumble: Hang dry under gentle sunlight to naturally sanitize and lift minor stains, or tumble dry low.
