By washing your gear only when it is absolutely necessary, you will not only conserve water, but also minimize wear and tear on your garments.It is only an occasional full wash that your most used outerwear needs.If it is caked with dirt, consider using a rag or sponge to spot- clean rather than putting it through a machine cycle.Synthetic jackets that are laundered in top-load washing machines lose seven times as much microfibers as the same jacket in front load washers, according to studies.
It's a good idea to line dry your clothing.Reduce fading by turning bright or dark items inside.The clothespin marks should be in a less visible spot if the shirts and pants are hung from the bottom.Line drying reduces environmental impact.If you are using a dryer, make sure to tumble dry your garments on low heat.You can find more information on caring for Down insulation here.
It is possible to reduce the flow of microfibers into your drain by putting your synthetic clothing into a filter bag.The Guppy Friend can be found at patagonia.com and our stores in the United States and Europe.A permanent washing machine filter is an option.When you can see that the fibers have collected, it's a good idea to clean out your filters after a few washes.Put the fibers in the trash bin.
Adding fabric softener or dryer sheets to your laundry process can increase the softness of the fabric but it won't give you a better hand feel.There is a waxy substance left on your clothes can.
Most waterproof/breathable shells on the market are originally treated with a Durable Water-Repellant finish, which keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.If the piece gets a lot of use or washing, the coating needs to be refreshed more often.It is time to put on another finish if water is no longer beading up on your shell.There are many good products on the market, but our favorites are Storm products.Whatever you choose, be sure to use a spray-on or wash-in for two- and three-layer garments.If the situation doesn't change, please send us the garment and we'll look at it.
Rub in dishwashing detergent to get grease out of a technical jacket.Then wash the jacket with detergent and warm water.If the stain persists, sponge it with a safe cleaning fluid or mineral spirits, and you can find both at your local grocery store.
If you want to get gum out of a garment, first freeze the sap with ice, then use a butter knife to remove as much as you can.Throw the garment into the laundry with warm water and detergent after soaking it in a water/white-vinegar solution.
