Performance Wash 

• Special soap-based wash, very gentle for technical garments
• This is especially important to use on your rain wear as this product strips dirt and oils from rainwear, without using harsh detergents that degrade the waterproof membrane/materials in a jacket (or any technical garment) 
• Main objective is to clean garments, but does also promote breathability and maintains water repellency 
• An alternative is to use soap flakes 
• This is good to use before reproofing with Clothing Repel (See below)

Clothing Repel

• Formulated to restore water repellency on the outside of your garment to help maintain longevity of your rainwear 
• Can be used on any outdoor clothing to add/restore DWR (Durable Water Repellant) 
• Highly recommend to use after cleaning your garment 
• Rainwear items can be left to air dry, but tumble drying on a low heat also helps to reignite waterproofing 
• The clothing repel comes in two variants
• Wash - Applies to all surfaces as this goes in the washing machine and may affect breathability of your garment
• Spray - The preferred option as you can apply it to just the outside/ pressure points (shoulders)
• Must be applied on a wet garment and evenly distributed

2 in 1 Wash & Repel 

• Simpler way to clean and restore DWR in one go 
• More economical and requires less time, but is not as thorough 
• If your rainwear is really dirty/old then we recommend using Performance Wash followed by Clothing Repel
• If your garment is not that dirty and relatively new, 2 in 1 is an effective way to clean and maintain your rainwear
• We recommend using heat activation washing this way (tumble dry on low or place in a warm area of your house to dry)

Down Wash (& Synthetics)

• Designed for down products (sleeping bags, jackets) as harsh detergents strip natural oils off feathers and technical materials of a jacket
• Gentle, removes dirt without compromising insulation
• Can alternatively use pure soap flakes
• Drying 
• Recommended to use "spikey" balls in the Down Wash Kit to encourage the feathers to stay fluffy and not clump too much 
• Clumped feathers leads to poor insulation
• When down items are wet (ie caught in the rain or washed), the down shrinks and clumps
• If you don't have these balls, tennis balls tied in a sock works as an alternative
• If there are still clumps after drying, use your hands to fluff it back up like a pillow 
• If you don not have a dryer, place garment in a warm sunny place and regularly fluff with your hands until dry

Tent & Gear Cleaner 

• The sponge-on cleaner is designed to clean dirt, pollen, oils, etc.
• As equipment gets dirtier, the more water it absorbs, meaning a higher likelihood that it will leak 
• This product is designed for tents and other technical materials (eg. backpacks) without damaging them 
• The water repellency already in place can then work better once it has been reproofed
