Hi Celeste,
Do you use fabric softener? When its sunny, I hang dry my gi. I forgot to put fabric softener one time and the gi dried up like a sand paper (the gi was fairly new). If you want to tumble dry, use low heat.

Good luck,
Larry
Hi Larry,

I'm allergic to a lot of detergents and generally avoid fabric softener (I haven't found a fragrance free one yet, just the Tide Free detergent). Also, I was hoping to avoid it for some of the reasons in the post Ricky posted (some people complained it makes their gi slippery).

I might give in and try half a measure for every other wash to see if it helps and if I break out in a rash

Thanks everyone for your advice!
