Hey All!
Anybody using Krud Kutter to clean DCF?? If so, any ill effects?
Thanks!

The most “toxic” thing I’ve used on my Notch Li is 70% isopropyl alcohol to clean areas on the hem fly I was about to apply DCF tape and then Tenacious tape for reinforcement before sewing on 4 stake loops.

Oct 24, 2020 at 10:09 am #3680878Thanks, All! Yes, always best to spot test and it never hurts to be reminded.
The item in question is a coffee stained White HMG Southwest pack. I didn’t use Dawn because of information on HMG’s website “”First, we recommend using non-detergent and non-oil based soaps with warm water to spot clean your pack….” Not being a DCF expert I squelched the temptation of using Dawn and went to plan B. Long story/short: Turns out plain water removes the coffee stain. yay.
Best!
