Always refer to the care symbols on the garment&#8217;s label, but here are some general rules:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare your garment<\/strong>: Close all zips and Velcro fastenings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use appropriate soap<\/strong>: Opt for pure soap or specialist soap cleaner, such as soap flakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wash carefully<\/strong>: Hand wash or machine wash at 30-40\u00b0C, with 30\u00b0C being sufficient in most cases.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure your washing machine is free of detergent residue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash waterproof items separately or with no more than two garments at a time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rinse thoroughly<\/strong>: Ensure all soap is removed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dry properly<\/strong>: Hang your garment to drip dry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avoid<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bleach, fabric softeners, conditioners, harsh detergents, and biological washing powders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dry cleaning and spin drying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Commercial soaps and detergents with added perfumes and brighteners, as they can affect waterproof coatings and DWR finishes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"715\"

dry<\/strong>: Always hang your garments to dry naturally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Avoid radiators and high heat sources<\/strong>: These can damage the fabric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low temperature dryer<\/strong>: If necessary, you can use a low-temperature dryer or cool iron, but high temperatures should be avoided.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keela Outdoor Clothing Reproofing Guidance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish on your garment will wear off, necessitating reproofing to maintain water resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Reproof?<\/strong> Reproofing restores the water-repellent finish that keeps the surface fabric from absorbing water, ensuring your garment remains breathable and comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is DWR?<\/strong> DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a treatment applied to the fabric to make it water-resistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Steps to Reproof<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Clean your garment<\/strong>: Ensure it&#8217;s free of dirt and residue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose the right reproofer<\/strong>: Follow the instructions specific to the product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply the reproofer<\/strong>: Some require the garment to be damp, others dry, so read the instructions carefully.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note<\/strong>: For System Dual Protection (SDP) garments, avoid reproofing products designed for use in washing machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"715\"
