Kunshan Outdoor Functional Fabric: How to Protect the Waterproof Function of the Fabric?

The waterproof function of outdoor functional fabrics is very important for outdoor enthusiasts, as they can effectively keep their bodies dry and provide a comfortable wearing experience. However, over time, the waterproof function of the fabric may gradually weaken. Here are some methods to protect the waterproof function of outdoor functional fabrics.

1. Cleaning the fabric: Regular cleaning of the fabric is the key to protecting the waterproof function. Firstly, gently brush off the accumulated dust and impurities, and then gently scrub the fabric with warm water and neutral detergent. Avoid using hard brushes or strong detergents to avoid damaging the fiber structure and waterproof layer of the fabric.

2. Waterproof spray: There are many waterproof spray products suitable for outdoor functional fabrics on the market, and the waterproof function can be extended by increasing the waterproof layer of fabrics. Before using spray, make sure that the fabric is clean and dry, and operate according to the product instructions.

3. Ironing: The waterproof function of some fabrics can be restored by ironing. First, wash and dry the fabric, then adjust the iron to the appropriate temperature (according to the instructions on the fabric label). During the ironing process, using the steam function can help restore the waterproof performance of the fabric.

4. Waterproof agent: Waterproof agent is a special product designed specifically for outdoor functional fabrics, which can enhance the waterproof function of the fabric. Before using waterproof agents, ensure that the fabric is clean and dry, and follow the product instructions for operation.

5. Avoid machine washing: Machine washing may wear out the fiber structure and waterproof layer of the fabric, thereby weakening its waterproof function. To extend the lifespan of the waterproof function, it is recommended to wash by hand or machine in gentle mode.

6. Avoid high-temperature drying: High temperature drying may have adverse effects on the waterproofing of the fabric. When drying the fabric, choose a low temperature or natural air drying method to avoid damaging the waterproof layer of the fabric.

7. Regular inspection: regularly check whether the waterproof function of the fabric is normal and whether there is obvious wear or damage. If problems are found, take timely repair measures, such as using waterproof spray or waterproof agent.

In addition to the above methods, there are also some other precautions that can help protect the waterproof function of outdoor functional fabrics. For example, when wearing the fabric, avoid friction with sharp or rough objects, avoid violent pulling of the fabric, and avoid contact with substances containing chemical substances. By using and maintaining the fabric correctly, the waterproof function of the fabric can be extended, and the comfort and safety of outdoor sports can be improved.
