Use nickwax wash in or spray on, both equally as good as each other. Just make sure the jacket/trousers are clean first. If you are washing them first always use some thing like soap flakes or nickwax tech wash normal detergents are to harsh on these type of fabrics. A bit of heat after applying the reproofer will help it to work better, a quick low heat go in the tumble drier (only if the garment says it can go in one!) or a warm but not hot iron through a towel or some thing similiar is best.
Hear ends the good house keeping guide to re-proofing. |
