How to clean Gore Tex?

jooleyen · 04-07-10, 07:59 PM

My suit needs a deep cleaning. How do I clean the Parka and Bibs?

I'm not sure, but I know don't throw it in the washer and then dryer. My buddy did that and ruined a 100MPH suit. It leaved like a sieve after that.

Did you look at the back of the tags for care instructions?

Should be a care instructions label on the inside lining of the jacket.
I have Cabela's Gore Tex rain gear and the care label says:

Machine wash, warm, sperately, rinse throughly.
DO NOT USE BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTNER
Steam iron - warm.

Can also be dry cleaned - CLEAN DISTILLED SOLVENT MUST BE USED.

Joolz-wash it in warm water with powder soap, no fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat, but I like to let mine just air dry.

I use liquid soap instead of powder. I also air dry it.

Good thread! I need to do that with my BPS 100mph bibs and coat.

I would hand wash, washing machines will kill the durability and waterproofness..
