Cleaning your waterproof jacket Some of the soiling of waterproof jackets can be removed by lightly sponging with clear water. If washing is required be careful not to use normal washing detergent/powder as this will damage the fibres and waterproof coating on the jacket. The effectiveness of your jacket will be impaired. It is recommended that all waterproof jackets are washed in a suitable cleaner, for example Nik Wax Tech Wash. This can be used in the washing machine by following the manufacturer’s instructions for washing your garment. After cleaning it is advisable to reproof your jacket. Suitable reproofing agents include Nik Wax TX Direct which is available in either a spray application or wash in type. After cleaning the jacket hood and draw cords should be loosened to allow everything to dry naturally on a hanger. |
