APPENDIX D: WASHING YOUR VECTOR

Overtheyears,we'veseensomeextremelydirtyVectors! We'vefoundthatmanypeopleareunsurehowtogettheir
containerclean. Forthatreason,wehaveputtogetherthefollowinginstructionsonhowtomakeyourVectorsmell
andlookgoodagain.
 Thebestwaytowash
arigisthe"goodoldfashionway"withslightlywarmwaterandWoolite.
 Fist,removethepackingdatacard,reserveripcordandcoverallhookVelcro.
 Useabigtub;lettherigstayinthesoapywater4hrs.
 Occasionallyswishtherigaroundinthe
tubtoloosendirt.
 Drainsoapywater,filltubwithcleanwater,andswishrigarounduntiltheclearwaterbecomessoapyand
cloudy.
 Draintubandrepeatuntilallsoapanddirtresiduearegone,usuallyin3rinses.
 Lettherignaturallydry,withoutdirect
sunlight. Weusuallyallowasmallfantoblowairpastittospeedup
thedryingprocess. 

Wedonotrecommendusingawashingmachine. Extendedagitationinawashingmachinecouldhavenegative
effectsinthelongrun. Thisalsorequiresyoutowraptheheavyhardware
tominimizedamagetothemachine.
