To help
in the fight against skin cancer, the Skin Cancer Foundation
recommends use of a laundry additive that helps block the
damaging ultraviolet rays from penetrating clothing.
Most lightweight
summer clothing does not adequately protect skin from the
sun's harmful UV rays. A typical white cotton T-shirt only
offers a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of 5.
Rit®
Sun Guard™ washes in extra protection against UV rays.
By adding one package to a regular wash cycle, clothing attains
a UPF of 30 that will last for up to 20 washings.
The product
said to be safe to use on all family members' washable clothing,
including children's, and will not alter the color or feel
of clothing in any way.
