Troubleshooting
Insect repellent not effective
Ensure the garment has not been washed with harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can degrade the NosiLife treatment. Verify the garment is clean and dry.
Shirt feels damp after activity
This can occur during very high-intensity activities. Allow the moisture-wicking fabric time to evaporate moisture. Ensure the garment fits properly and isn't too tight, which can impede airflow.
Fabric seems stiff
New garments may have a slight stiffness. This usually softens after the first wash. Ensure you follow the recommended care instructions.
