How best to clean heated riding gear ...

[Zen Rider]

I have a "Widder" vest and such which has been sitting for awhile.

Dry cleaning seems to be the best and only approach.
Widder doesn't specify and the dry cleaners are clueless.  

Anyone know how best to clean electric gear?  

Thanks

Warm & Safe says all heated gear can be washed....

The most I've used on my heated gear is a damp sponge.

Just hand wash and hang dry like Gerbings - no reason that should cause any problems.

I should redefine the question - how do you get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke on a heated vest?

[mxvet57]

Quit smoking.  Just a thought.

[Zen Rider]

That done, the problem of the smell still exists; hence my question.

I know a former smoker who used Zero Odor spray with good results. Some Bed Bath & Beyonds have it, or Amazon.

Garment, liberally dosed with Febreeze, sealed in a closed garment bag for a bit?

Some sort of Ozone spray should kill the stink.

Also you can just toss it in the washing machine.

after I quit, I threw some gear into a big zip lock baggie with some baking soda . . . ..  helped a great deal

Cool ~ thanks, all

Well I just noticed last night that my Gerbing liner is starting to get a bit funked-out with my stink, and I generally don't stink.

Well, maybe not to yourself anyway

And spray with something like Frebreeze if needed.
