CLEAN, PROOF & RESTORE Product Guide
CLOTHING - Cleaning
When you have a new jacket it’s amazing how the water just runs off the outside. This happens because of a durable water repellent treatment (DWR) that’s applied at manufacture to all jackets. But dirt, oil and normal household detergents will, over time, mask the DWR, causing the outside of the jacket to absorb water (wetting out). ‘Wetting out’ reduces breathability, comfort and performance and can make the jacket feel cold and wet to the touch. Unlike normal detergents, Granger’s cleaners remove dirt, oils and stains without harming the DWR, making your jacket work like new again. Or as we like to say, ‘Original performance restored’.
