Textile care for functional outdoor clothing

Textile care

Functional clothing made of softshell or hardshell is usually not suitable for conventional detergents that are normally used to clean T-shirts, jeans and sweatshirts. Particularly with waterproof laminates, such as Gore-Tex, care should be taken when washing, as otherwise the small pores will become clogged and the breathability will be impaired.

In addition, companies manufacturing textile care products offer special products like DWR spray or DWR wax. This allows the water-repellent and dirt-repellent surface treatment to be refreshed and activated again after washing. Water droplets and dirt particles roll off the outdoor clothing like a brand-new DWR treatment.

Dry treatment of skiing clothing, outdoor clothing and functional clothing

Nikwax and Toko offer all the care products needed for gentle and efficient care of skiwear, functional clothing and outdoor clothing. Special products for machine washing and hand washing of softshell fabrics and waterproof jackets are complemented by detergents for down and insulating synthetic fibres, such as PrimaLoft.

Depending on the material, DWR spray, DWR wax or other dry-treating care products serve as effective protection against snow, rain and moisture.
