How To Use

Clothing: 

  1. Remove all detergent build-up from the detergent dispenser.
  2. Place maximum of 1 garment in washing machine.
  3. Add 100ml.
  4. Run a 30°C synthetic cycle on a slow spin, with an extra rinse if possible.

Sleeping Bags* (8kg+ washing machine):

  1. Remove all detergent build-up from the detergent dispenser.
  2. Place maximum of 1 item in washing machine.
  3. Add 100ml for 8-11kg machines. For 12kg machines use 250ml, for larger 25kg+ machines use 500ml.
  4. Run a 30°C synthetic cycle on a slow spin, with an extra rinse if possible.

Drying: Do not dry before waterproofing. If care label allows, tumble dry according to manufacturers instructions on a low setting until “clumps” have disappeared. This may take multiple drying cycles. Teasing apart clumps by hand between drying cycles will help restore the loft more quickly.

*Sleeping bags and very large jackets are best hand washed in a bathtub or equivalent, or washed in a large professional machine at a laundromat.
