How do I care for my raincoat?

Washing your recycled raincoat at home

A waterproof waterproof is a piece that is subject to rain (obviously) but also to snow, pollution and mud splashes! As a result, it tends to get dirty and quickly covered with stains. So, since you can't entrust them to the dry cleaners as often as you'd like, you need to know how to maintain them safely yourself. Here's our easy guide to clean your room Flotte !

Step 1: Washing your rain jacket

Good practices for washing your raincoat

Before you drop off your garment Flotte in the washing machinewe recommend that you close all the zips on your garment. If it's a raincoat Amelot raincoat, for example, don't forget to close the central zip, as well as all the pockets.

You can then wash your jacket raincoat machine or hand wash, cold and up to 30°C, adding a very small amount of liquid detergent. Opt for a very moderate spinning to avoid creasing the garment unnecessarily. If your washing machine has a delicate program, don't hesitate to use it!

❌ It is strongly discouraged to use powdered detergents in direct contact with the garment. Also, do not use products that may contain fabric softeners, fabric conditioners or stain removers. Also avoid using chlorine on your garment. All of these elements will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the waterproof film on your jacket or coat.

💡 We recommend washing your clothes Flotte on their own, by hand or machine.

Step 2: Drying the garment

Once the garment machine washed, we advise you to lay it flat lay it flat or on a hangerand wait quietly for it to dry by itself.

❌ Use of the tumble dryer is strongly not recommended in order to preserve the waterproof fabric. You wouldn't want your raincoat to be ruined, would you? Flotte to be ruined, would you?

Step 3: Last but not least, iron your raincoat

After washing your garment Flotte, you can iron it, but only with steam! It's normal for the garment to come out of the machine a little wrinkled, so a little steam ironing with a steamer/defroisseur is all it takes! Your Flotte piece is as good as new!
