Tips for Using Revivex Wash-In Water Repellent
Looking for an easy method to add some water repellency to your not so waterproof rain jacket and outerwear? Revivex Wash-In Water Repellent is just what you need.
Before applying water repellents, it is essential that you begin by cleaning jackets and technical garments with a specialized cleaner, like our Revivex Pro Cleaner. Typically, an item is unable to repel water because there is a build-up of residue, dirt, smoke or body oils. Cleaning is the first step to ensure waterproof treatment is effective.
