To maintain the waterproofing and breathability of your snow bibs, regular cleaning is essential. Here's how:
- Pre-treat stains: Before washing, address any stains with a pre-treatment stain remover.
- Use a gentle detergent: Wash your bibs in cold water on a delicate or gentle cycle with a special detergent designed for technical fabrics. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, which can damage the waterproofing.
- Consider a tech wash: Utilize a product like Nikwax Tech Wash to clean your bibs, as it helps maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
- Re-waterproof: After washing, apply a waterproof treatment like Nikwax to restore the water resistance and breathability of your bibs.
- Air dry: Hang your bibs to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid using a dryer, as the high heat can damage the fabric.
By following these steps, you can keep your snow bibs clean, waterproof, and in top condition for years to come.
