Waterproof care

Post by Clyde_Wanderer »

Discovered that only flake soap should be used when washing any waterproofs.
Hard to find but avaialable from the hardware store at Lochgilphead.
Quarter teacup full disolved in hot water then added to aprox 10-15ltr warm water should be ample and rinse well before drip drying.
Dont use water/fabric softners etc as they will damage the waterproofness.
