Grangers Clothing Repel Wash-In Waterproofing Treatment

Removes stains that set into tightly woven water resistant fabric and restores the water repellent layer. Just follow the instructions and don’t skimp and you should get good results and good value from the larger size package. Excellent product.

I found nice hiking rain gear at my local thrift store. Was in great shape but did not know how old they were. So I soaked them in the Grangers waterproofing. It rained this week so tested my old/new rain gear. I did not see any change in color of the material but the rain rolled right off. Very satisfied. Just to make sure, I also added my puffy coat, backpack cover, and my waterproof bags to the same batch. I used a 3'x2'x2' tote container and followed the instructions. I used plastic covered weights to weigh material down under water for 24 hrs. Then let drip dry in the shower. Then place in the dryer low heat for 30 min. One thing though, after the water gets cold in the container, the waterproofing will clump together. I just sloshed the water around before taking the clothing out. Squeezed out the excess water and let drip dry. If the water could be heated again, maybe the same batch could be used again.

I bought this product for the simplicity of washing and helping to enhance DWR on my jackets. Other products I've tried have different products to wash, then to enhance DWR leading to 2 or 3 purchases. This product accomplished that quite well in one bottle. I used it once on an old Primaloft puffer style jacket and vest which are my go to. WOW. Not only did it wash them well but this product resorted the loft in both. They're now literally as lofty as when they were new. Prior to the wash they were fairly well compacted and not quite as effective as they once were. This product worked absolute wonders on them! For that reason alone it's worth the price.I have used other types of sports wash and one of them did well but the results I saw after one wash of Grangers were exceptional. This is now my go to product for DWR and any time restoring loft is important. Can't say enough good things about the product. Highly recommended.

I ordered this to wash two horse blankets and get them waterproof again.Previously washed them with regular detergent and then learned the hard way, that this destroys the waterproofing. Anyways, this product arrived and I added 2 cap fulls into the washing machine reservoir. Then it was full. Said on the bottle that it needed 2 caps for a jacket. Since horse blankets are much bigger I just decided to add another cap full into the compartment for fabric softener. That was then about half the bottle for 1 blanket. Put it on the regular Eco Warm cycle and it got most of the dirt out of the blanket. Didn't make it smell much better, but I didn't expect it to get the horse smell out of it. Put the blanket in the dryer afterwards as advertised and let it dry. I think it works in regards to restoring the waterproofing on the blankets. Just to make sure that the horse wouldn't get wet again I sprayed them also with another product afterwards. Both of them together now have the water pearl off the blanket. The one bottle lasted for 2 wash cycles for a total of 2 horse blankets. Overall not bad and happy with the purchase. Will use it again next year as it got most of the dirt out of the blankets and waterproofed them.

Works great

There seemed to be some improvement in the water beading on the jacket after treatment, but it didn't last very long. The water no longer beads on the jacket.

Waterproofed the shell of a cheap tee-pee tent. If you're doing something large and floppy like a tent it'll act like a bowl. Learn from my mistake and be careful not to dump a bunch of water on the floor or into your dryer.It's been fantastic through several trips of driving rain over the last few years, and still holding up well. Doesn't prevent capillary action, but that's going to happen with anything woven or otherwise breathable. Just follow the standard good practice and don't put stuff against your tent walls or lean against something wet.

I washed 6 hiking quilts and 2 sleeping bags following the instructions. All the bags and quilts had lost much of their loft. After washing and then air drying all the loft came back and the fabrics were not only cleaned like new but everything was coated with waterproofing . It even cleaned and waterproofed my gortex 30yo military jacket. Also there's no chemical or fragrance smell at all. Follow the directions and all will be well!
