Shake the bottle, pour 75 ml into the softener compartment and then wash according to the manufacturer's guidelines for the garment. For optimal performance, use Storm Wash in the detergent compartment in the same washing cycle. Let the garment drop dry and finish drying in a tumble dryer.
When technical equipment is used, the surface treatment that repels water, DWR, begins to age and become damaged.
Maintaining a good care and cleaning routine will ensure that the garment performs as well as possible for as long as possible, but there will come an hour when the DWR needs to be replaced. This can be done by the regular user with an easy to wash product. Our ECO Proofer contains no harmful PFCs and offers an excellent level of performance.
Applying this renews the garment to as close to the original performance as possible. Washing in is the easiest way as it can be done in the same washing cycle as cleaning, saving water and energy and minimising washing. To check if a garment needs a little extra DWR, a simple test can be done by dropping water on the surface of the garment. If the water runs off, the DWR is in good condition, if it sticks to the surface or moisturises the surface and the colour darkens, then it may be worth using an impregnation in the washing cycle.
ECO Proofer requires quick tumbling or ironing once air-dried for the heat to activate the DWR finish.
