If you properly care for the membrane, the clothes made of it will last a long time keeping all its properties.

Upon washing, clothes often lose their attractive appearance, and your winter clothes also lose their propertiesthat keep you warm in a cold season. Therefore, the question is, how to wash a jacket with a membrane while keeping its main features:

  • moisture protection; wind protection;
  • body heat preservation;
  • sweat vapors release.

It is easy when you follow recommendations.

All washing precautions for similar products are identical.

  • Machine washing at no more than 800 RPM.
  • Use special detergents for membrane fabric, as ordinary detergent particles block the pores of the membrane, damaging its structure. As a result, the clothes lose their protective properties.

Before washing you should check the washing recommendations on the label. All zippers, pockets, and buttons must be fastened. Make sure you left no objects left in the pockets that could affect the washing process or damage your clothes. Thoroughly clean the dispenser from the remains of detergent and rinse liquid. Do not pour fabric conditioners or washing gel directly into the tank, use a dispenser. Pour the exactamount indicated on the detergent pack.

We recommend the following detergents:

  • Toko Eco Textile Wash – for membranes and functional clothing.

  • Grangers Clothing Clean & Proof Kit – for membrane washing and impregnation.

Note: for a longer service life of the product, it is best to hand-wash your membrane clothes at 30-40℃
