Wash your recycled fabric raincoat at home
A jacket waterproof is a piece that is subject to rain (obviously) but also to snow, pollution or mud splashes! It thus tends to get dirty and quickly cover itself with stains. So, as you cannot entrust them as often as you would like to the dry cleaners, you have to know how to maintain them yourself and in complete safety. Here is our easy guide to nettoyer your room Flotte !
Step 1: Washing your rain jacket
Best practices for washing your raincoat
Even before submitting your clothing Flotte in the washing machine, we advise you to close all the zips of your garment. If it is a raincoat Amelot for example, do not forget to close the central zip, as well as all the pockets.
You can then wash your jacket waterproof machine or by hand, cold and up to 30°C, adding a very small amount of washing-up liquid. Opt for un very moderate spin to avoid wrinkling the garment unnecessarily. If your washing machine has a delicate program, don't hesitate to use it!
❌ It is strongly advised not to use powder detergents in direct contact with clothing. Also, do not use products that may contain fabric softeners, fabric softeners or stain removers. Also avoid the use of chlorine on your garment. All of these would greatly reduce the effectiveness of the waterproof film in your jacket or coat.
💡 We advise you to wash your clothing Flotte alone, by hand or by machine.


Step 2: Drying the garment
Once the clothing machine washed, we advise you to lay it out flat or on a hanger, and quietly wait for it to dry on its own.
❌ The use of the dryer is strongly not recommended to preserve the waterproof fabric. You still wouldn't like your raincoat Flotte be damned, if?


Step 3: Last but not least, iron your raincoat
After washing your play Flotte, you can iron it, but only with steam! It is normal for the part to come out of the machine a little wrinkled, a little steam ironing Using a steamer/ steamer and voila! Your room Flotte is like new!


Caring for your clothes while taking care of the environment
Beyond our waterproof jackets and our rainwear, we have also embarked on the adventure of household products! Good ok… Not just any products. We know how complicated it can be to know with what, how and when to wash your waterproof jacket, so to answer all these doubts, we have developed magic laundry (nearly). A simple container of washing powder that turns into 1 liter of liquid detergent by adding 1 liter of water! Quite simply…
That's not all, this detergent is made up of at least 99% products of natural origin. In addition to an ultra-clean composition to preserve our ponds, our rivers or even the oceans, the ingredients of our detergent are biodegradable and are therefore not harmful to our precious aquatic biodiversity.
To develop and produce this Laundry Soap, we worked with a French laboratory. She is therefore formulated and manufactured in France, which makes it possible to reduce the environmental impact caused by transport in particular. But this French production also has the merit of perpetuating real know-how and guaranteeing the Sustainability and quality some products.

Hello,
I am very satisfied with my reversible yellow and blue down jacket, however the yellow side is very messy and I can't manage, even after a machine at 30 degrees, to remove gray marks on the wrists. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you,
Sincerely
Clementine
Lack for a raincoat the information on the waterproofing capacity is what we call the water column 😉
Hello,
Should we re-waterproof the fabric (using a waterproofing spray) after washing?
thank you in advance
Hi
I tested my new purchase of a raincoat FLOTTE during my three day stay on the Normandy coast. I took monumental showers :) and I was totally protected in my raincoat. Well done, it's beautiful, very practical, light, foldable, very comfortable, breathable and really waterproof. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and in addition to a French ethical brand which has strong values and which keeps its promises. CONTINUE
