1. Can waterproof jackets be dry cleaned?

In fact, not all jackets cannot be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning has very strict requirements on the use of detergents. As long as the dry cleaners follow it strictly, they will get twice the results with half the effort. In addition, it should be noted that most dry cleaners will habitually use pins to fix the logo into the clothes. This operation is wrong and will only break the jacket, so explain it clearly to the dry cleaner staff in advance. Follow a complete process for cleaning jackets and pants without damaging your clothes. In addition, jackets are easily damaged in two aspects during the washing process. One is that they are easy to degummed after washing, and the other is that the water-repellent treatment on the surface of the clothes is easy to be lost after washing. In order to solve these two problems, we need to pay special attention when washing.

Special attention should be paid to the fact that some jackets cannot be dry cleaned, because the coatings of some jackets are lipophilic to a certain extent, and the organic solvents used in dry cleaning will dissolve to a certain extent and damage the coating, and then the jackets should be washed. However, you should choose neutral detergent for washing and try to wash with clean water. If it's too dirty, you can add a small amount of detergent, but repeatedly washing the jacket will only reduce its functionality. It is recommended to go to an outdoor store to buy a bottle of waterproof spray care. After the waterproof performance of the jacket is significantly reduced, spray it all over. If you have a clothes dryer at home, drying after spraying can improve the fastness of the waterproofing agent.

2. Can waterproof jackets be washed in a washing machine?

Jackets cannot be washed in a washing machine. Due to the material, the jacket cannot be wrung out or dry cleaned. Washing clothes in the washing machine will destroy the waterproof properties of the jacket. Jackets are usually waterproof and breathable, more resistant to dirt, and can easily remove stains. Soak them with neutral laundry detergent for about 20 minutes. Use a soft brush or sponge to wipe the dirty areas clean. No need to twist them after cleaning, just hang them on a hanger to dry.
