Cleaning / Washing Textiles
I have the HG Tricky III and it's been great through sun and rain. I've machine washed it a couple of times with Nikwax stuff and although it smells and feels fresh, the light grey patches on the suit look as dirty as before the wash.
Now it's time for another wash and I was thinking of spraying some water based degreaser and let it soak for a few minutes to help loosen the grime on the grey patches but I'm afraid of ruining the fabric. Any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks! |

Re: Cleaning / Washing Textiles
My Halvarssons is the same, I was kinda hoping that washing it would make it look clean!
S'pose as long as its waterproof again, it'll have to do! I'm not sure that waterbased degreaser will do owt, and could react with the nikwax when its doing the rounds in the washer
