Galvin Green wash/care question

[Siren]

What do you do if you do not have a tumble dryer? Can they dry as normal and then you iron them?


This is the first wash so I dont want to ruin them after a few few weeks

Thanks in advance

haha good question.
I actually take mine to my folks' place to use their tumble dryer so I can follow it to the letter. £190 for trousers I don't take any risks.

Take them to the washerette with a bag of 20p's 👍

Pretty sure you can use a steam iron in place

 

[Jensen]

Yes, pretty sure you can. However most importantly DONT use fabric softener, it damages the GoreTex.
Also after first wash cycle they need to go through separate rinse cycle.

i give them to my mate down the road who has a TD. didnt wear mine that much last year, so don't need doing that often.

I was recommended Persil non bio liquid instead of powder by GG.

I sent my jacket back as it was leaking they sent it back with some washing instruction that said put it in the oven to dry.

Really.

Kill two birds with one stone.....put a spud in each pocket in case you get hungry on the course

i Just put mine in the washing machine and then dry on a radiator. I've never had leakage problems

My older jacket recommended tumble dry, my trousers which I've just got say a warm iron, based on that I now wash them and just dry on the radiator I've never had any problems.
I must clean my garage out so I could if I wanted get to my tumble dryer !

If you do Iron anything GG, especially trousers, make sure you use a tea towel or pillow case over them, I had my Iron only on warm and went straight on to some trousers only to have it stick immediately and rip/burn a hole in them, it just gripped them and they melted 😡😞

As regarding washing I use Tech Wash by nikwax.

Honest I was not making it up, when my coat was returned to Golf support, they gave me a bottle of wash from GG. Only the instructions were all Scandinavian countries, after asking on here what to do I was advised to use a google translation. It mentioned re tumble dry and using the oven 😳

Glad about the nik wax solution as Millets have a deal on re nik wax, al be ordering some for me golf and camping stuff. 👍

You need to TumbleDry to 'fix' the waterproofing agent. Applies to all Gortex.
