Keeping Your White Water Robe in Top Condition

Proper care for your White Water Robe ensures it remains durable, waterproof, and comfortable for years to come. Follow these steps to maintain its high performance and longevity.

Steps:

1. Spot Cleaning:

   • Use a damp sponge or cloth to remove dirt and stains from the robe’s surface.
   • Focus on areas that are visibly dirty, avoiding the need for frequent full washes.

2. Hand Washing:

   • If a deeper clean is necessary, hand wash your robe in lukewarm water with a mild detergent.
   • Gently scrub the fabric, especially on heavily soiled areas.
   • Rinse thoroughly to ensure all soap is removed.

3. Machine Washing:

   • Machine washing should be done sparingly. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
   • Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as they can damage the waterproof membrane.
   • Turn the robe inside out to protect the outer fabric during the wash.
   • Important: Do not dry clean or iron your White Water Robe, as this can damage the fabric and its waterproof properties.

4. Drying:

   • Avoid tumble drying, as heat can damage the fabric and waterproof coating.
   • Hang your robe to air dry in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

5. Storage:

   • Store your robe in a cool, dry place when not in use.
   • Avoid folding or compressing the robe for long periods, as this can cause creases and affect the fabric's performance.
   • Use a hanger or store it flat to maintain its shape and structure.

6. Recoating for Water Repellency:

   • Both the Hard Shell and Soft Shell Robes have an ecological fluorine-free water-repellent finish to the outer fabric.
   • If water no longer beads on your robe after multiple washes, consider applying a DWR (durable water-repellent) treatment to restore its water-repellent properties.
