General care of materials
How to take a proper care and wash your clothes
Always follow the manufacturers instructions as indicated on the label to make sure you wash at the right temperature for the clothes. You can also wash in the short version programme. For the technical/functional products it is not recommended to use fabric softener or to soak the clothes before washing in any solutions. You can iron the clothes as indicated ion the care label. After several washing you can regain waterproofness by using one of the recommended impregnation detergents.
Hand washing of materials.
When preparing the solution for hand washing, it is never certain if the detergant will be completely dissolved. The experinece goes that some customers even put the clothes into a bath and sprinkle it with detergent. This is evidently harmful for the color of the material and reclamation problems arise. It doesn’t mean that handwashing is not allowed. If one respects washing instructions of a manufacturer and use only those liquid detergents intended for hand washing no problems should occur.
Use of fabric softener
Fabric softeners usually damage waterproof adjustment of a material. Fabric softener should not be used for products with original water/wind - repelency, breathability and other technical products.
Membrane clothes washing
We recommend to use special washing detergents e.g. TECH WASCH produced by Nikwax. Always follow the producer instructions.
Impregnation maintenance
It is recommended to impregnate all the clothes in case that even in soft rain causes soaking of water into the material. It is also recommended to re-impregnate after five washing.
Care of knitted material
Wash the products only of the same colours in the usual amount of water detergent and on a gentle cycle with rinsing. Do not soak the clothes into water before washing. It is recommended to wash the clothes inside ouot and zipped. Form the clothes after washing when the clothes is still wet (you will avoid shrinking), hang it freely and let it dry to preserve the integrity of the components and prevent wrinkles. Always dry the clothes inside out and never expose it to the direct sun. Do not leave the clothes before or after washing in water. Hang the clothes freely and allow it to dry equally right after washing. The clothes can shrink max. 3-5 %.
Care of woven materials
Wash the product separately in a delicate programme with rinsing using a usual amount of detergent. Do not apply a fabric softener - it would damange the function of the material. Do not soak the material into water before washing. After washing and quick rinsing hang the material freely, e.g. over the heating or other sourace of warm and let it equally dry (do not put it directly on the heating). Do not expose to the direct sun. Do not leave the product before or after washing for a longer period of time in a solution. Hang the clotes freely and allow it to dry equally right after washing and rinsing.
