Practicality, convenience and attractiveness are the indisputable pluses of things from membrane tissue, but they noticeably fade whenit comes down to cleaning products. A laborious process will give the desired result only if the means for washing membrane clothing are used.

Conventional washing powders and detergent compositions can disrupt the texture of the fibers, which will lead to a decrease in the protective properties of matter. Already during the purchase of the thing you like, you should think about purchasing the right set of products. True, this does not end with the hassle, the approach to washing such clothes requires certain knowledge and skills.

Features of membrane clothing that need to be considered during cleaning

Things from the membrane are valued for its ability to repel moisture coming in from outside. At the same time, matter does not prevent the evaporation of sweat. For these reasons, these clothes are considered an ideal choice for tourism, sports and active recreation. This result is achieved by impregnating the tissues with special chemical compounds. They have an additional plus - dirt-repellent properties that prevent the rapid smearing of the surface.

Unfortunately, in the process of washing unique clothes the profile means 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 appeal, but loses valuable functional properties forever. However, the opinion that the powder can replace liquid or gel means is fundamentally wrong. The enzymes contained in them take the special membrane structure of matter as dirt and try to destroy it.

Bleaching of membrane tissues is also a big problem. The use of both chlorine and oxygen stain removers or bleaches has its negative aspects. Means from the first group so thoroughly clean the matter, which leads to an increase in its permeability.

Further use of such clothes for the purpose loses all meaning, it will get wet at the slightest increase in humidity. Products from the second group in the process of washing are clogged into membranes, which again makes things useless.

Rules for carrying out washing of specific things at home

You can erase items from membrane tissues and you need to, but first you should familiarize yourself with a number of important points and recommendations from manufacturers of specific clothing:

  1. First, we inspect the thing and determine the most polluted places. Even before washing, the selected detergent must be applied. To save the product you can manage with household soap, but then you will have to thoroughly rinse the object, otherwise the membranes will be clogged.
  2. You can only wash one item at a time.
  3. Before using the specialized formulation, the vial should be shaken well.
  4. Soak is not used! Immediately after getting water on the surface of clothing, you need to start the cleaning process. Long stay of membrane tissues in water is fraught with the destruction of their texture.
  5. Carrying out even the most delicate machine wash is caused by a high degree of risk. No remedy will protect matter from such an intense mechanical impact. It is better to act manually. If the decision to use the washing machine is accepted, you need to set a delicate mode, minimum temperature, turn off the spinning and drying.
  6. It is not desirable to twist the fabric of the faucet. You can only press on it, providing access to all parts of clothing. Foam will not be much and do not need to get it. This is a feature of the profile compositions.
  7. After achieving the desired result, the product is laid out and laid out on a horizontal surface with holes, allowing the liquid to flow freely.
  8. As we dry, 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 a thing is fluff, it is recommended to straighten it from time to time. You can not tear lumps apart. It is better to wait for the complete drying of the object and break the lumps with light tapping movements or stretch them with your fingers.

Advice: The assortment of preparations for washing membrane clothing is very extensive. Before buying and using the compound, you need to read the label and make sure that the composition is intended for processing things, not shoes, tents, raincoats, ropes and other accessories. All of them differ in the composition and principle of action, and their use for other purposes may lead to the deterioration of things.

Basic recommendations for the implementation of further care

Immediately after washing, several more manipulations are needed to restore the functionality of the membrane material.

  • Even with the most delicate approach, impregnation begins to thin out and disappear. It must be restored by applying the appropriate remedy. It can be a liquid or an aerosol. In the first case, manipulation is carried out at the time of rinsing, in the second - after the product dries.
  • Even in the process of wearing things you need to pay attention to whether it has become soaked in separate areas. But do not apply the composition immediately after such an opening, it is better to wait for its washing, or you can clog dirt in the membranes.
  • It is recommended to renew the impregnation after 1-2 washings, if practicing the approach more often, there is a risk of damage to the membranes.

Today, the manufacturers of profile products began to offer innovative products combining two important phases of care. If you believe advertising, then cleaning and impregnation are already at the stage of washing things, so no additional impact is required. Consumers are skeptical about the novelty, enthusiastic and negative reviews are divided roughly equally.
