How to Clean and Maintain Your Kula Cloth

Quick answer

Hand wash your Kula Cloth with mild soap and warm water after each trip, then air dry completely. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach to preserve the fabric's performance. With proper care, it stays hygienic and ready for many adventures.

Step-by-step Kula Cloth care routine

1. Rinse immediately after use: As soon as you're done, give the Kula Cloth a quick rinse with clean water to remove urine and dirt. If you're still on the trail, a squeeze from your water bottle works fine. Common mistake: letting it dry with residue. A quick rinse prevents odors and staining.
2. Wash with mild soap and warm water: At home or at a camp sink, soak the cloth in warm water with a drop of mild, fragrance-free soap. Gently rub the fabric against itself to loosen any remaining soil. Rinse thoroughly until no suds remain. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners—they can break down the fabric and reduce its effectiveness.
3. Air dry completely before storage: Hang the Kula Cloth in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Make sure it's fully dry before folding and storing it in your pack. Storing a damp cloth invites mildew. If you're on a multi-day trip, clip it to the outside of your pack to dry as you hike.
