Garment Care
Here's how to ensure your Fortan garments remain as good as new for as long as possible
Biking Jerseys & Trail Trousers
#1 Remove all dirt
Use a soft cloth to remove most of the dirt.
#2 Wash according to labels
Follow the instructions on the clothing label and choose a suitable program. Place your item in the washing machine and use a non-biological washing liquid or Grangers tech was.h If you cannot read the label, you should wash your clothes on a gentle cycle and a slow spin - around 30 degrees is optimal. **For any stubborn stains or marks, you may use a spot stain removal spray, prior to washing
#3 Tumble dry on low heat or air dry
Fully dry the garment at a low temperature in the tumble dryer, or air dry.
Jackets & Gilets
#1 Remove all dirt
Do up any zips or velcro and close any flaps. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove most of the dirt.
#2 Wash according to labels
Follow the instructions on the clothing label and choose a suitable program to wash your waterproof clothes. Place your item in the washing machine (ideally 1 item per wash) and use a non-biological soap or a waterproof washing liquid to add extra protection. If you cannot read the label, you should wash your clothes on a gentle cycle and a slow spin - around 30 degrees is optimal. **For any stubborn stains or marks, you may use a spot stain removal spray, prior to washing
#3 Give your clothes an extra spin
After the washing cycle has finished, run multiple spin cycles - each time incrementally increasing the spin speed, to remove excess water.
#4 Tumble dry on low heat or air dry
Fully dry the garment at a low temperature in the tumble dryer, or air dry.
#5 adding extra water repellency
Either wash the garment again with a wash-in water repellency product like Grangers repell plus, or after washing and whilst the garment is still damp, use a spray on repellency product and apply as instructed.
