FAQs
Does this product clean my clothes?
No, the Regatta Wash-In Proofer is a treatment only. You must wash the garment with a standard cleaner first to remove dirt and oils.
How much should I use per wash?
Use exactly 75ml per wash cycle.
Is this safe for the environment?
Yes, the formula is free from PFCs, PFOA, and PFOS, making it an ecologically approved option.
Can I use this on non-waterproof clothing?
It is specifically designed for water-repellent fabric types and will not turn non-technical fabrics into waterproof gear.
How many times can I treat my gear with one bottle?
One bottle provides enough formula for up to four wash cycles.
Do I need to heat the garment after washing?
Yes, tumble drying on a low heat setting is recommended to activate the water-repellent coating.
Troubleshooting
Water still soaks into the fabric after treatment
Ensure the item was tumble dried after the wash cycle; heat is required to properly activate the water-repellent polymers.
Garment feels stiff or sticky
You may have used too much product. Ensure you measure exactly 75ml and run an extra rinse cycle if necessary.
