Q: Does this repellant stain clothes? Seems like it would leave dots of “oil” combined with the other ingredients. When sprayed is it a fine mist that won’t really stain clothes?
A: Hi there, Thank you so much for reaching out and for asking this question. Our products are safe to use with clothing and camping gear. If you are especially concerned we would suggest that you test a small hidden piece of the fabric in question JUST to make sure it won't leave a stain. I hope you find this helpful but please let me know if you have any other questions. Warm regards, Liv
