Keep the temperatures low, but not too much, because heat is usually required to activate the product. However, this is dependent on which product you are specifically using. Garments can be left to air dry or be tumble dried. Garments should only be tumble dried on a low or medium heat if care instructions allow. Use two 50ml capfuls of Wash N Proof per garment and pour directly into the detergent drawer of your washing machine. Pour the cleaner into the detergent compartment. For the Wash n’ Proof this will be two 50ml capfuls per garment.

Paramo and ourselves recommend that you use Nikwax aftercare products which have been specifically developed to work with Paramo fabrics. All the Nikwax products are environmentally friendly, water-based, non-hazardous, non-solvent and fluorocarbon free, continuing the eco-friendly nature of the Paramo brand. caption id="attachment_4025" align="aligncenter" width="299"] Nikwax Tech Wash & TX Direct[/caption]

For high abrasion areas such as the elbows and shoulders, it’s recommended that a second coat of proofer is applied. Again, allow to dry naturally. Nikwax TX Direct is a wash-in water-based re-proofer which reduces the water absorbency of the outer material and thus recharging the waterproofness of your Paramo waterproofs.

Either way I swear by putting the garment in the tumble on a low heat for 30 mins or so. Really seems to help. I was advised to do this by Goretex. Seemingly helps even without a waterproofer. The next two products are also by Nikwax, the first one being a duo comprised of the Tech Wash and TX.Direct Wash-in. How do I look after my Paramo waterproof clothing is one of the most regular questions we get asked. Read on to find out the answer... No, your new Paramo has been already been fully proofed and is ready to go. This highly durable water-repellent treatment is one of the significant advantages that Paramo had over other manufacturers’ waterproofing systems in that is highly reliable and durable. However, with wear and the gradual build up of dirt the waterproofness will decline. Thankfully the waterproofing is renewable indefinitely with regular washing in the appropriate products.
