Every care and detail goes into making each Swazi garment to ensure your total satisfaction. To prolong the life of your garment we recommend following the care instructions below. These instructions can also be found on the garment labels.

It is very important to wash your Gore-Tex® outerwear regularly to maintain it's performance. Before laundering, always consult your garment's care label to be completely sure.
Machine Wash separately on warm (40°C) using pure soap, double rinse and spin. We recommend pure soap products as they are less likely to leave residues that can affect the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Pre-wash stain removers can be used to treat stains on your garment. Treat stains quickly as possible for best results. Ensure your garment is rinsed well after washing . Re-treat with DWR finish when required.
Tumble Dry on a warm setting (55°C) until dry. Heat from the tumble dryer helps to enhance the Durable Water Repellency on the surface of the outer fabric - as it is heat activated.
Ironing. Tumble drying is recommended, however, ironing on the lowest steam setting will achieve a similar result.
Drycleaning is recommended for well used, dirty, sweaty and stained garments. Occasional dry cleaning won't harm the Gore-Tex® membrane and thoroughly cleans your garment. Ask your drycleaner to use clear solvent and to apply a fluoropolymer based water repellency treatment to the outer fabric.
DWR - Durable Water Repellency is the ability of water to bead up and roll off the outer fabric instead of being absorbed. It is an ultra thin treatment that changes the surface tension of the garment and can be easily restored by applying heat. The simplest way to restore DWR is to tumble dry or iron. Over time the DWR will require replacing due to flex, abrasion and dramatic temperature changes. Use a fluoropolymer based water repellent spray-on treatment available at outdoor shops. We recommend Grangers XT spray.
Helpful stuff:
Don't store your garment when it is dirty and sweaty as ground-in dirt and sweat is harder to remove the longer it remains on the garment. Be sure your garment is clean and dry before storage to prevent mould and mildew.
Store your clean Gore-Tex® outerwear in a cool dry area out of direct sunlight.
Gore-Tex® fabrics are the most durably waterproof and breathable fabrics available but they are not impervious to damage and can be punctured by sharp objects such as spiky vegetation, sharp rocks etc. Punctures may cause some leakage but are easily repaired.
Salt water. Salt water does not effect the properties of Gore-Tex® fabric. Any breathable clothing, even cotton T-shirts can accumulate desiccants such as salt which will 'mask' the DWR and absorb moisture. After exposure to either salt water or salt spray, simply rinse or wash in fresh water and tumble dry.
