Washing Powder and UV

[PLEDGEY 496]

Apparently pigeons can see in the Ultra Violet range, and washing powder contains brightners that make your clothing glow like a beacon to a pigeon. So don't wash your Camo gear, well, not in Powder with whitener enhancers.

I read an article in air gun world a couple of years ago about this and it said only use non -bio washing powder ! Think thats right ?

The Brighners in powders beacon out to deer as well glow like a belisha beacon

We use LUX pure soap flakes and hand wash our gear for that very reason.

Hope this helps
