Jackets, raincoats, artificial fibers.

Waterproofing clothing is not permanent. It is important to repeat this treatment 3 to 4 times a year. This will ensure that your fabrics retain their optimal protection. Have this done by a professional who is familiar with maintenance techniques. This will ensure that the waterproofing is effective and long-lasting.

Never store outdoor clothing or cushions while they are still damp. Moisture can damage the treatment and promote mold growth. Avoid prolonged contact with wet surfaces (window sills, floors) to preserve the effectiveness of the waterproofing.

Ventilate rooms exposed to condensation well. This limits ambient humidity. As a result, your waterproof clothing will last longer.

For delicate jackets, combining the treatment with prior cleaning using the Maxima process guarantees greater effectiveness. This will make the waterproofing more effective and longer lasting.
