sexkitten Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 OK, I have one pair lined and one pair unlined ski pants and I am not sure if I should wash them in the washing machine or just hose them off and line dry them. The unlined pair has a pretty good gash in the leg (thanks weird dude who ran me over twice on Challenge this year) so that pair is the one I am most afraid machine to wash. What do you guys (or your moms) do? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHarrisburg Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I don't wash my pants. If they're white and you want to get dirt off, hand clean them with a sponge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibhusky Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Wash them with powder detergent, then wash them again with waterproofing like NikWax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poconoceancity Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Wash them at the end of every season...if your not happy with the result you have an excuse to buy new ones for the upcoming season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimom Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm not sure what my Mom would do, but I agree with Sibby, exactly. Powder detergent, gently, then redo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORGATA BOSS Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) Be sure to zip all zippers before you wash your jacket. You can wash your Gore-Tex in a regular washing machine, in warm (not hot) water, on a gentle cycle. Please use pure soap (which is best) or a mild powder detergent. Do not use Liquid detergents > or ones that contain oil, or have fabric softeners in them (such as Woolite Edited March 31, 2006 by BORGATA BOSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibhusky Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Uh, some of that is posted twice, Borgata Boss. Also, I've found that the spray ons are just too tough to get evenly all over the garment. Inevitably, I've discovered I didn't get some section of the garment adequately covered with the spray. Hence the decision to switch to wash ins. Maybe it's best to use both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbike-ski Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Where does one get the DWR stuff - either spray on or wash in? All of the waterproofing in my family's ski clothes is long gone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schif Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 I usually just hand wash the knees and butt, because thats all that really gets dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
