How often you wash your Paramo clothing will depend on how regularly you wear it, the weather conditions and how much dirt it has attracted. As a general rule, we would suggest that every 3-8 weeks is a good guide. Even if the outside looks clean the pump liner material inside the clothing can become clogged from the salt in your sweat building up in the material, and the result is that it is ineffective at pushing moisture towards the outside and thus keeping you dry.
Nikwax TX Direct is a wash-in water-based re-proofer which reduces the water absorbency of the outer material and thus recharging the waterproofness of your Paramo waterproofs. I have tried washing my Paramo clothing in Nikwax Tech Wash and TX Direct but is still not performing as it did, do Paramo offer a reproofing service? Keep the temperatures low, but not too much, because heat is usually required to activate the product. However, this is dependent on which product you are specifically using. We recommend that you only use the TX Direct when the Tech Wash fails to reactivate the waterproofing as describe above i.e. the material ‘wets out’ and water no longer ‘beads’ on the surface. caption id="attachment_4026" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Paramo Fabric "Wetting Out"[/caption]
How To Clean A Tent
One of the huge selling points for Paramo clothing is the fact that they can easily be repaired either by yourself, a seamstress or by Paramo themselves. Even better is that after the repair the waterproof system will still work unlike a membrane waterproof system which once damaged will never be able to keep water out. The important thing to remember if you decide to repair your Paramo clothing yourself is to make sure the stitch is to one layer only. If you pass stitches through both the outer and inner layers this will damage the items weather protection. Tech Wash is a soap-based cleaner, which is formulated for waterproof, synthetic clothing, sleeping bags, garments and equipment. It is a water-based product, which is biodegradable and does not contain any VOCs or PFCs, which are considered harmless not solely to the environment but also to the human body.
UV-protective clothes are incredibly important as there is no way to apply sunscreen all over the body on a regular basis, and if you are outside for extended periods of time, the risk of UV damage and its side effects increase over time. Don’t allow wet clothes in your tent. Dirt can cling to wet clothes and then fall off once dry, leave your wet clothes to dry either outside or in the porch area (if you have one).For high abrasion areas such as the elbows and shoulders, it’s recommended that a second coat of proofer is applied. Again, allow to dry naturally. Tech Wash is the same product as the one mentioned previously and you use it directly in a front-loading washing machine, as per instructions.
Depending on where you camp, it is hard to prevent the outside of your tent getting dirty, but you can help the inside.Use two 50ml capfuls of Wash N Proof per garment and pour directly into the detergent drawer of your washing machine. caption id="attachment_4025" align="aligncenter" width="299"] Nikwax Tech Wash & TX Direct[/caption]
