Easy Care of GORE-TEX® Outerwear (how to wash, dry and reactivate DWR)
Before laundering your garment, zip the front closure, pockets and pit zips completely, and fasten all flaps and straps. Be sure to follow the garment manufacturer’s instructions to ensure high performance.
Wash
Machine wash on a warm permanent press cycle (105º F/40º C) using a small amount of liquid detergent. Rinse twice, minimize spinning to reduce creasing. Do not use powder detergents or any products that contain fabric softeners, conditioners, stain removers or bleach as they will affect garment performance. Do not wash with heavily soiled clothing.
Bleach
Do not use chlorine bleach.
Dry
Line dry your garment, or tumble dry it on a warm, gentle cycle. once it is dry, tumble dry your garment for 20 minutes to reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) treatment on the outer fabric.
Iron
If unable to tumble dry, iron the dry garment on gentle setting (warm, no steam) by placing a towel or cloth between the garment and
the iron. This will help reactivate the DWR treatment on your garment’s outer fabric.
Dry Clean
Gore recommends home laundering. If professional dry cleaning is necessary, request that the cleaner use clear distilled hydrocarbon solvent for rinsing and then spray DWR on the garment’s outer fabric before drying. Follow garment manufacturer’s instructions.
Water Repellent Treatment
When the factory applied treatment can no longer be reactivated, apply a new water-repellent treatment (available at local outdoor retailers) to the garment’s outer fabric.
Special Care
Wash GORE-TEX® Scent Control Outerwear with unscented detergent after 40 hours of field use
Waders that incorporate neoprene boots should only be washed by hand in cold water and drip-dried. No fabric softener.
