Care & Maintenance Guide for Lightweight Raincoat Jacket

1、Pre-Wash Preparation

Stain Pretreatment
For local stains (e.g., mud, oil), dampen the stained area with water below 30°C first. Apply a small amount of neutral detergent (e.g., laundry liquid) gently, let it sit for 2-3 minutes before overall washing.
Avoid strong alkaline cleaners (e.g., soap, laundry powder) to prevent damage to the waterproof coating.
Accessory Check
Zip up all zippers and fasten Velcro before washing to avoid fabric snags. If there are detachable brims/liners, wash them separately with gentle care.

2、Detailed Washing Steps

Hand Washing (Recommended)
Prepare a basin of water (≤30°C), add a small amount of neutral detergent and stir evenly.
Soak the garment completely, gently press and rub (focus on collars, cuffs, etc.), avoid twisting or scrubbing hard.
Rinse 2-3 times with clean water until no detergent residue remains.
Machine Washing Notes
Only use the "Delicate Cycle" of the washing machine, set the water temperature below 30°C.
Put the garment in a laundry bag to avoid mixing with hard fabrics (e.g., jeans) and reduce friction.

3、Drying & Storage Rules

Drying Requirements
After washing, shake the garment gently and hang it in a ventilated, shaded area to drip dry (use a dedicated hanger to prevent shoulder deformation).
Strictly avoid direct sunlight: it accelerates nylon aging, reduces waterproof performance, and may cause slight fading of black fabric.
Storage Tips
Fold the fully dried garment without heavy pressure (roll it into a tube to reduce wrinkles).
Store in a dry, ventilated place; avoid damp wardrobes or heat sources (e.g., radiators) to prevent mildew or coating damage.

4、Daily Maintenance & Precautions

Waterproof Performance Maintenance
If waterproofness decreases after long-term use, use a special nylon waterproof spray (spray evenly on the surface and dry to restore waterproofing).
Avoid frequent washing: wipe surface dust with a damp cloth for light dirt to reduce coating wear.
Forbidden Operations
Do not iron: Nylon has poor heat resistance; high-temperature ironing causes shrinkage, deformation, or melting.
Do not dry clean: Dry cleaning solvents damage the waterproof coating and may leave harmful chemicals.
Do not tumble dry: High-temperature drying severely damages the fabric structure and shortens service life.
