No, no NO! NEVER wash your waterproof garments in anything but a detergent specifically made for waterproof garments, like Granger or NikWax. Will it be as clean as Tide or the like, NO! But it will ensure your waterproofing did not get washed off either.

[@fernandomunoz268]

this. especially a POD.

[@samgraham9754]

Thanks for your review. Picked up the grangers one, in the washing machine as we speak 👍🏻🤞

[@AeetosOutdoors]

Let me know how it goes!

[@Dan-ey4mi]

DWR is solely for stopping the outer fabric from soaking. If it's gore-tex or another membrane it will always be waterproof. DWR is needed so the gore-tex can breath and allow your body vapour to pass through the gore-tex membrane and the outer fabric. So back to your video , you mentioned there are parts that are soaking. Soaking isn't good especially with that small amount of water. It means the DWR hasn't mixed well in the washing or maybe enough wasn't used, who knows.

I found that the Clothing Repel works way BETTER than the wash and repel

[@AeetosOutdoors]

Is it the same brand? I’m going to have to re-treat mine soon and I’d be interested to know about other options!

[@MAXS200]

Read in few places that it is recommended no to use scented detergents, fabric softners or colourant Grangers have a kit with one side washing performance product and on the other the repellant

[@Selly555]

I would say no scented detergents if your washing hunting gear

[@ozzyjim]

Avoid fabric softeners in your detergent aswell

[@AeetosOutdoors]

Great point!

[@kirkjamesss8879]

Why not nikwax wash in tech wash/tx direct not good?

[@dan13no]

What’s the point in washing them first with regular detergent? Thanks for the video

[@AeetosOutdoors]

Mine had gotten pretty dirty over the years so I wanted to try washing it first. I think it also helps remove anything that may stop the repell adhering to the jacket.
