Apply the treatment to clean clothing
The water-repellent treatment of technical clothing can deteriorate over time (progressive wear by friction, severe weather). The waterproofing liquid re-activates the water-repellent property of clothing by impregnation. In order to guarantee maximum effectiveness, this treatment must be performed on clean clothing. Therefore, it is advisable to wash the garment with TECH&DOWN detergent for technical clothing if necessary.
First step: PENETRATION
You have two options to choose from!
Soaking:
Soak your garment for 15 minutes in a basin of water at 30° with 4 capfuls (100 ml) of water repellency reactivating liquid.
Using a washing machine on a delicate cycle at 30°:
Place your garment on its own in your washing machine, without detergent, and add 4 capfuls (100 ml) of water repellency reactivating liquid to the softener compartment of your machine.
Recommended dosage: 100 ml or 4 capfuls for 1 kg of clothing.
Second step: ACTIVATION
Drying using heat activates the water repellent properties.
Yarn drying option:
Let your garment air dry and once dry, apply moderate heat using a hair dryer.
Dryer Option:
Place your garment in your dryer on its own and use a delicate cycle (maximum 30°) also called synthetic or sensitive fibres or maybe sportswear.
Operation
This liquid reactivates the water repellency (makes the drops of water slide off) of waterproof clothing.
Caution: a non-waterproof garment will not become waterproof just by treating the fabric with this liquid.
