Why choose this technical clothing care kit?
This kit includes two key cleaning products in 100 ml version:
- Detergent for technical products (waterproof or down)
- Waterproofing liquid for reactivating the water-repellent properties of fabrics in a washing machine.
The perfect combo to easily take along with you anywhere.
Why use a special detergent?
Fragrance-, enzyme- and bleach-free, it gently cleans without altering your waterproof clothing or feather and down products such as down jackets, pillows and sleeping bags. The tensioactive agents have been carefully selected to protect the elastic properties of down and feathers, while maintaining their fill power.
It is also perfect as a pre-wash before re-waterproofing. 100 ml provides 4 washes.
Why use a re-waterproofing product?
Due to time and wear, the water-repellent treatment of technical products may deteriorate. The liquid helps to reactivate the water-repellent properties of fabrics. Caution: A non-waterproof garment will not become waterproof by using this product. 100 ml = 1 kg of clothes
How to use the technical detergent
Before washing, close the pockets, zips and velcro.
Opt for a 30°C or hand-wash cycle. A quarter of the bottle (25 ml) is enough to treat 2.5 kg of technical laundry.
Tip: to maintain the fill power of your down, add 2-3 tennis balls to the wash.
How to use the re-waterproofing liquid
Tips for 100 ml or 1 kg of clothes:
- Option 1: Soak for 10 minutes in 5 litres of water at 30°C with the 100 ml reactivator bottle.
- Option 2: Machine-wash on a delicate cycle 30°C, clothing only, using the whole bottle in the softener compartment.
How to dry your technical product
To reactivate the water-repellency of your clothes after each treatment, there are two options:
- Option 1: after drying naturally, pass over a hairdryer on a warm setting for 5 minutes to reactivate the water-repellent properties.
- Option 2: in the tumble drier, slip the garment in on a delicate cycle (max 30°C, synthetic or sports cycle).
