Can I use Sawyer MAXI DEET on clothing and gear?

Yes, Sawyer MAXI DEET can be applied to clothing, mosquito nets, and head nets. However, avoid applying it to or near acetate, rayon, spandex, or other synthetics, as it may damage these materials.

Who It's For vs. Who Should Skip It

Ideal for individuals spending extended time outdoors in heavily infested areas, such as campers, hikers, fishermen, and travelers to tropical regions. It's suitable for adults and older children needing strong protection. Those sensitive to DEET or seeking natural repellents should opt for Picaridin-based or essential oil formulations. Avoid application on synthetic fabrics like acetate or rayon, and do not use on broken or irritated skin. Always follow label instructions for safe and effective use.

How to use

Ensure the spray nozzle is clean. If using on clothing or nets, test on an inconspicuous area first to check for fabric compatibility (avoid synthetics like acetate, rayon, spandex). — Prepare Application
Hold the bottle 4-6 inches away and spray evenly onto exposed skin. Do not apply to cuts, wounds, or irritated skin. Avoid spraying directly onto the face; spray onto hands first, then apply to face, avoiding eyes and mouth. — Apply to Exposed Skin
Lightly spray clothing, hats, and mosquito nets for added protection. Do not allow treated clothing to come into contact with skin or synthetic fabrics. — Apply to Clothing and Gear
Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after application. Store the bottles upright in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. — Wash Hands and Store
