Caring for Your PUL Plastic Pants
PUL (Polyurethane Laminate) pants are wonderfully durable and built to handle frequent washing, drying, and even the demands of industrial laundry. With just a few simple habits, you can keep them fresh, odor‑free, and performing at their best.
Here’s how to get the most life out of your PUL pants:
-
Use enough water. Most odor issues come from high‑efficiency washers not using enough water. Always select the extra water or deep fill setting when washing reusable incontinence products.
-
Go easy on detergent. Too much detergent can trap buildup in the laminate. If washing PUL pants alone, use only half the amount recommended by the detergent manufacturer.
-
Reset odors with vinegar. If you notice a lingering smell, wash a small load with ½ cup of vinegar and a light amount of detergent. This usually clears the issue quickly.
-
Wash like your AIO diapers. The same rules apply to any All‑In‑One diapers with PUL barriers—start with a cold rinse (especially for bowel‑soiled items), then wash normally.
With the right care, PUL pants stay soft, flexible, and reliable for long‑term use. A little attention goes a long way toward keeping them in top shape.
