Durable mesh washing bag specially designed for beekeeping veils and hats with plastic ring. It protects the mesh and the hoop during machine washing, helping your protective gear last longer.
Zipped mesh bag for washing a beekeeping veil or ring hat without the ring losing its shape or the mesh catching on the rest of the load.
A veil is not washed for the stain: it is washed for the smell. Sting venom leaves alarm pheromone in the fabric, and that puts the bees on their guard before you have opened anything.
01 · WHAT IT PREVENTS
What wrecks a veil in a washing machine is not the water: it is the spin cycle knocking it against the drum and the snags on other people's zips and hook-and-loop. The mesh lets water and detergent through and keeps the ring and the veil clear of all that.
02 · HOW TO WASH IT
Before it goes in, close every hook-and-loop fastening: left open, they are the sandpaper that shreds the tulle. Short gentle programme, up to 30 °C, and do not pack the drum.
No fabric softener and no bleach: they leave residue and perfume, and out at the hives smell is not a cosmetic matter. Dry in the shade, no tumble dryer and no iron anywhere near the veil.
03 · WHAT WATER WILL NOT LIFT
Propolis marks do not wash out: the garment goes in the freezer and the marks are cracked off cold, or wetted with alcohol first. Hot water only sets the colour.
04 · BEFORE YOU BUY
It extends the life of a veil; it does not repair torn mesh or a ring that has already given way.

| ✕ DOESN'T FIT | For the whole suit: that goes loose in the drum, with every fastening closed. |
