How to wash membrane clothes, the benefits of using detergents

Practicality, convenience and attractiveness are the undeniable advantages of things made of membrane fabric, but they noticeably fade when it comes to cleaning products. The laborious process will give the desired result only if you use detergents for washing membrane clothes.

Conventional washing powders and detergents can disrupt the texture of the fibers, which will lead to a decrease in the protective properties of the material. Already at the time of purchase of a thing you like, it is worth thinking about purchasing a suitable set of products. True, the chores do not end there; the very approach to washing such clothes requires certain knowledge and skills.

Features of membrane clothing that need to be considered during the cleaning process

Items from the membrane are appreciated for its ability to repel moisture from the outside. At the same time, matter does not prevent the evaporation of sweat. For these reasons, such clothing is considered an ideal choice for tourism, sports and outdoor activities. This result is achieved by impregnating tissues with special chemical compounds. They have an additional plus - dirt-repellent properties that prevent the rapid soiling of the surface.

Unfortunately, in the process of washing unique clothes, the profile product is gradually washed off. The use of washing powder is accompanied by the filling of membranes with abrasive particles or the destruction of fibers. The thing retains its original attractiveness, but forever loses valuable functional properties. At the same time, the opinion that powder can be replaced by liquid or gel products is fundamentally wrong. The enzymes contained in their composition perceive the special membrane structure of matter as dirt and try to destroy it.

Whitening membrane tissue is also a big problem. The use of both chlorine and oxygen stain removers or bleaches has its own negative aspects. Means from the first group so thoroughly clean the matter that they lead to an increase in its permeability.

The further use of such clothing for its intended purpose loses all sense, it will get wet at the slightest increase in humidity. Products from the second group during the washing process are clogged in the membrane, which again makes things useless.

Rules for washing specific things at home

It is possible and necessary to wash products from membrane fabrics, but first you should familiarize yourself with a number of important points and recommendations from manufacturers of specific clothes:

1. First, inspect the thing and determine the most polluted places. Before washing, they must be applied to the selected detergent. To save the product, you can do laundry soap, but then you have to rinse the item thoroughly, otherwise the membranes will clog.
2. You can wash no more than one item at a time.
3. Before using a specialized composition, the vial must be shaken well.
4. Soaking is not used! Immediately after water gets on the surface of the clothing, you need to start the cleaning process. Long stay of membrane tissues in water is fraught with destruction of their texture.
5. Carrying out even the most delicate machine wash is associated with a high degree of risk. No tool can protect matter from such intense mechanical stress. Better to act manually.If the decision to use the washing machine is made, you need to set the delicate mode, the minimum temperature, turn off the spin and drying.
6. Unscrewing the tap is undesirable. You can only press on it, providing access to all parts of the clothing. There will not be much foam and there is no need to get it. This is a feature of profile compounds.
7. After achieving the desired result, rinse the product and spread it on a horizontal surface with holes, allowing the liquid to drain freely.
8. As it dries, we straighten the product, but do not translate it into a vertical position. The use of artificial heat sources is unacceptable! Even direct sunlight should not fall on the fabric.
9. If there is fluff on things, it is recommended to straighten it from time to time. Lumps can not be torn. It is better to wait until the item has completely dried and break the lumps with light tapping movements or stretch them with your fingers.

Tip: The range of products for washing membrane clothes is very extensive. Before buying and using the composition, you need to read the label and make sure that the composition is designed to handle things, not shoes, tents, raincoats, ropes and other accessories. All of them differ in composition and principle of action, their use for other purposes can lead to damage to things.

Basic recommendations for further care

Immediately after washing, it is necessary to carry out several more manipulations aimed at restoring the functionality of membrane matter.

• Even with the most delicate approach, the impregnation begins to thin out and disappear. It must be restored by applying the appropriate product. It can be a liquid or an aerosol. In the first case, the manipulation is carried out even at the time of rinsing, in the second - after the product has dried.
• Even in the process of wearing things, you need to pay attention to whether she began to get wet in certain areas. But do not apply the composition immediately after such an opening, it is better to wait for it to be washed, or you can clog the dirt in the membranes.
• Renew impregnation is recommended after 1-2 washings, if you practice the approach more often, there is a risk of membrane damage.

Today, manufacturers of specialized products began to offer innovative drugs that combine two important phases of care at once. If you believe the advertisement, then cleaning and impregnation take place already at the stage of washing things, so additional exposure is not required. Consumers are skeptical about the new product, enthusiastic and negative reviews are divided approximately equally.
