EnglishMembrane systems: Wash or dry clean as often as you wish.
Articles which have membranes in their construction retain their protective powers, irrespective of the frequency of washing or dry cleaning.
The care label instructions of articles with membranes must be consulted when caring for them.
Wash or dry clean.
The care label will say whether the garment can be washed or has to be dry cleaned. If it goes to the cleaners, you should draw the attention of the staff to the presence of the membrane, so that there will be no damage by fixing on the identification tag.
Where it is possible to wash the garment, the following tips should be noted; but only in case the care label instruction is not giving other information:
Select gentle wash cycle (40°C), load machine to approximately 60 per cent capacity.
Use gentle detergent.
Do not add softeners because they can affect the impregnation.
Avoid fast spin.
Adjust dryer to low temperature only, where care label states drying is permitted.
If ironing is possible, then it should only be done at medium temperature. The care label will have instructions.
Note instructions on re-proofing - this is best done by dry cleaners, as it is kinder to the environment.
