Grangers Clothing Repel (1L Pouch/33.8fl oz)

Best product I have used to re-new DRW to technical clothing. Works real good on Gore-Tex fabrics.

worked well - easier to apply than spray on

This is a review of Grangers Clothing Repel/Wash-in Waterproofer for Outerwear / 1ltr I have two winter parkas that have reduced water repellency. This did a decent job of restoring the water repellency of both of them. One parka was Gore-tex, which is a membrane bonded to the underneath of the nylon outer while the other parka is not Gore-tex but had a factory water repellency added to the nylon outer. In both cases this Grangers Clothing Repel restored the water repellency quite well to the parkas. The liquid is milky-white in appearance. If you get it on your fingers, it actually takes a bit of effort to get it fully off of your fingers attesting to its water repellent qualities. I have a top-load High Efficiency washer and used 6 capfuls as per instructions. 2 capfuls for the first coat, and 1 capful for each subsequent coat, then doubled because of using a Top-load washer, so 6 capfuls total. After washing you are to put them in the dryer at the highest temperature recommended for your garment. The hotter the better apparently. I put my coats in at High heat. The results speak for themselves as you can see in my video. There is no real scent and no stickiness or residue on the coats that I can detect. It just works.

It works Jus follow the directions

I have a couple of "waterproof" garments that the waterproofing has stopped working (due to needing to wash one, and excess wear on another). This stuff is really easy to use. The instructions on the bottle were pretty minimal (and in a tiny font!), so I went to the Grangers website to get better instructions. From the Grangers website: "Use 50ml capful per large item, or two smaller items. Use half a cap if handwashing. •For best results we recommend reproofing garments separately. •Pour product directly into the detergent drawer of your Washing Machine. •Wash on a full cycle at 30°C/86°F or according to care label instructions." I did one pair of children's snow pants and a North Face jacket, and used two capfuls of waterproofer. I did it on a delicate cycle (per the tag in the North Face jacket) and tumble dried low for 40 minutes (the website recommended using a dryer if the wash instructions on the garment allowed it). The results are excellent: the water runs off the jacket without even beading up, despite pouring water on it (see video; sorry it's upside down). Prior to using this product the water would soak into the fabric almost immediately. I had previously used Nikwax waterproofing wash on the jacket, but it didn't seem to do anything. Perhaps it is because I air dried the jacket after washing instead of tumble dried on low. The results from the Granger product are superior to Nikwax.

I washed 2 jackets in this detergent. One jacket was an older Gore-Tex jacket and the other one had a waterproof coating from the manufacturer but no permanent membrane. I used the amount specified in the directions and accidentally spilled some on the jacket during the washing machine loading. After the wash cycle was through I hung both jackets up to air dry. Once they were dry I noticed that there were detergent stains on the jacket where I had spilled the detergent on the jacket. This isn't a problem that's specific to Grangers detergent as I've seen this issue with other brands as well. I poured water on the non Gore-Tex jacket sleeve to test the effectiveness of the Grangers detergent. Instead of beading up it soaked in immediately. Since the Gore-Tex membrane is permanent I didn't see any difference in performance from before or after the wash and none was expected but I had expected a difference in the non Gore-Tex jacket performance and didn't see it. Given my test results I can't recommend this product for waterproofing.

This product works great and i highly recommend using it. I snowboard a minimum of 30 days a season. I wash and add the repel to my gore tex shells 1-2 times a season depending upon wear. 3/5 stars due to damaged product upon receiving shipment. The bottle cap was broken and over half the fluid escaped and made quite a mess in my home. Amazon refunded no problem and I’m purchasing again but the damaged product and resulting mess is less than satisfactory

I figured denim would be a good test and it works, but don’t do that. I’ve been out of the loop. Apparently, it is safe and even desirable to wash and re-treat your GoreTex or other water resistant clothing. This hefty 1000ml jug (39oz.) will do 10 jackets, or 15 if you treat two at a time. The liquid looks and feels like watery Elmers glue and is a polymer. Use 2 capfuls for one jacket or 3 for two jackets. Wash at around 84F. The instructions don’t say that but their online video accessed by their QR code does. Then air dry or tumble dry at very low heat if the fabric care instructions permits. Denim’s comparatively coarse weave and cotton material are a tough test for a waterproofer. I treated a jacket as per instructions and it worked very well (see video). Treating a synthetic jacket or pants would be a much better use of the product, with a longer lasting result.

At nearly half the price, a nice less expensive substitute for my normal well well-known alternative. Seems to work just as well, producing beading of water on my jacket. Just like the other product though, the fabric will become saturated after prolonged rain. Definitely good enough that I will switch to this from now on.

Excellent product, It was recommend by H/H. Good price for it’s volume,

Ya estoy cansado de comprar artículos en Amazon que no traen las instrucciones en Español , cuando va haber alguien que piense en ello y lo subsane? El Español es un idioma que lo hablamos más de 500 millones de personas y aún así siguen vendiendo productos que no traen las instrucciones en nuestro idioma, espero que ha alguien se le mueva una neurona y exijan a los fabricantes que también rotulen las instrucciones en Español.

Product does not come in a bottle (despite Amazon's picture) but comes in a squeeze pouch.

Excelente producto, devuelve la capacidad impermeable a la ropa o artículos nuevos que sean como de lona, yo lo he usado hasta en tenis y funciona muy bien
