How to Use the Arrest My Vest Laundry Booster

Quick answer: Add half a cup of Arrest My Vest laundry booster straight into your washing machine drum before you load your clothes, then wash as usual with your normal detergent. For heavily soiled or high odor loads, add a little more. One 64 oz bottle handles about 16 loads, and it works in any machine on any washable fabric.

You wash your uniform, you pull it out of the machine, and it still smells like the shift. Sweat, smoke, and long hours settle deep into the fibers, and regular detergent is built to lift dirt, not to eliminate that kind of odor. That is the exact problem the Arrest My Vest laundry booster was made to solve. Here is how to use it so every load comes out actually smelling clean.

What is the Arrest My Vest laundry booster?

The laundry booster is a dedicated laundry odor eliminator you add to the wash alongside your detergent. Your detergent cleans the load. The booster goes after the odor your detergent leaves behind and eliminates it at the source instead of covering it with fragrance. It is nontoxic, enzyme free, and safe for uniforms, tactical fabrics, and K9 gear, and it works with any detergent and any machine. It comes in Midnight or fragrance free Unscented.

How do you use the laundry booster?

Using it takes one extra step, and that step happens before you even start the machine.

1. Sort your laundry the way you normally would.
2. Pour half a cup of laundry booster directly into the washing machine drum before you add your clothes. Adding it to the drum rather than the detergent tray lets it work through the whole load.
3. Load your clothes on top.
4. Add your regular detergent the way you always do.
5. Run the cycle as usual. There is nothing extra to wait for and nothing to rinse out afterward.

How much laundry booster should you use per load?

Half a cup covers a standard load. For heavily soiled gear or loads that carry strong odor, such as base layers after a hot shift or K9 blankets, add a little more. One 64 oz bottle gives you roughly 16 loads. 

Can you use it with your regular detergent?

Yes. The booster is designed to work alongside whatever detergent you already use, and it does not replace it. Your detergent handles the cleaning, and the booster handles the odor. If you want your whole wash routine from one brand, you can pair it with the Arrest My Vest laundry detergent sheets.

Why does the booster work when regular washing does not?

Regular detergent is formulated to lift dirt and stains. Deep odor from sweat, smoke, and body oils is a different problem, and it often survives a normal wash and comes right back the next time you sweat. The laundry booster is built specifically to eliminate that odor at the source during the wash, rather than masking it with a heavier fragrance. That is why gear comes out smelling genuinely clean instead of smelling like perfume laid over the old smell.
