Preliminary advice
The water-repellent treatment of technical clothing can deteriorate over time (progressive wear resulting from friction; bad weather).
The Forclaz liquid waterproofing product reactivates the water repellent properties of a garment by penetrating the fabric.
In order to guarantee maximum effectiveness, this treatment must be performed on clean clothing. Consequently, wash the garment beforehand if necessary, taking care to close all the zips and press-studs.
First step: PENETRATION
You have two options to choose from!
Soaking
Leave the garment to soak for 15 minutes in a basin of water at 30°C with 2 capfuls of waterproofing reactivator liquid
Machine washing
Place the garment on its own in your washing machine, without any detergent, and add 2 capfuls of waterproofing reactivator liquid in the softener compartment of your machine. Use a delicate cycle at 30°C or a suitable outdoor cycle if your machine allows it.
Second step: ACTIVATION
Drying using heat activates the water repellent properties.
Line drying option
Leave the garment to air dry and, once dry, apply moderate heat using a hair dryer.
Tumble dryer option
Place the garment alone in your tumble dryer and use a delicate cycle (maximum 30°C) also called "synthetic" or "sensitive fibres" or even "sport".
