FAQs
Can I use this cleaner on down jackets?
Yes, Grangers' Tent + Gear Cleaner is suitable for most outdoor gear, including down jackets. However, always check the specific care label of your jacket and consider using a specialized down wash if recommended for optimal loft and performance.
How often should I clean my outdoor gear?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. Clean your gear when it appears visibly dirty or when you notice a decrease in its water-repellent performance.
Does this cleaner add waterproofing?
No, this cleaner removes dirt and impurities to restore the effectiveness of existing water-repellent treatments or to prepare the fabric for a new waterproofing application. It does not add waterproofing itself.
What is the recommended dilution ratio?
The recommended dilution is 100ml of cleaner (about 2 capfuls) in 5 litres of water.
Can I use this product in a washing machine?
The instructions suggest sponge-on application and rinsing of the fabric surface. For machine washing, Grangers recommends their specific performance washes designed for washing machines.
Is the bottle made from recycled materials?
Yes, the bottle is made from 100% recycled materials.
What should I do if I get the cleaner on my skin?
Rinse the affected area with plenty of water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
Troubleshooting
Cleaner leaving residue
Ensure you are rinsing the fabric thoroughly with clean water after cleaning. Insufficient rinsing can leave residue.
Dirt is not completely removed
For heavily soiled areas, you may need to apply the cleaner more directly to the spot with a sponge or soft brush and allow it to sit for a short period before rubbing and rinsing.
Gear still leaks after cleaning and re-waterproofing
Cleaning prepares the gear for waterproofing, but does not waterproof it. Ensure you have applied a suitable waterproofing treatment according to its instructions after cleaning and drying.
