To keep your nylon waterproof fabric in top condition, follow these washing guidelines:
- Use Cold Water: Always wash in cold water to avoid damaging the waterproof coating. Warm or hot water can degrade the coating over time.
- Gentle Cycle: Set your washing machine to a gentle or delicate cycle to reduce stress on the fabric and coating.
- Mild Detergent: Use a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and harsh chemicals, as they can damage the coating.
- Turn Inside Out: If possible, turn the item inside out before washing to protect the coating during the wash.
- Air Dry Only: After washing, air dry the fabric. Do not tumble dry, as the heat can affect the waterproof coating.
