The maintenance and preservation of your raincoat
To wash
When the seasons change again, you would like to wash your summer or winter coat and hang it in the closet. Most people simply put the jacket in the washing machine, dry it and hang it up.
But... did you know that your raincoat has a water-repellent layer on the outside?
It is therefore advisable to wash your jacket with a detergent that has been specially developed for rainwear.
When you spend €79 or more, we give you a bottle of detergent especially for rainwear as a gift with your order.

To maintain
Unfortunately, clothing, including your raincoat, wears out through use and washing. But it also wears out in places where the fabric rubs against the other fabric layer.
With years of use, the breathable function can also deteriorate, often because the fabric of the jacket becomes full of dirt.
A product has been developed especially for this maintenance: Nikwax.
These are two products that together take care of this maintenance:
1. Nikwax Techwash a bottle with a deep cleaner, which ensures that the jacket becomes clean again and that the breathable function is restored.
2. Nikwax TX direct, a bottle with an impregnating agent. This ensures that the jacket is waterproof.
Both bottles have a capacity of 300 ml and are sold in 1 package.
The cost of these 2 bottles is €21.95.
You can use Nikwax by hand, but also in the washing machine, just check the washing label of the jacket you want to treat, so that you wash it at the correct temperature and settings.
The information on the washing label of the jacket is always leading. Unfortunately, it can also happen that a jacket cannot be washed, this depends on the material.
