Granger's 2 in 1 Cleaner & Proofer
by SoadFan Once the colder wetter weather kicks in its time to reproof our last years outdoor clothing, so that it will keep water out during bad weather when we are out and about. A product that we use to great effect with the absolute minimum of effort and fuss is Granger's 2 in 1 Cleaner & Proofer. Granger's 2 in 1 Cleaner & ... Proofer is something we buy that is so simple to use its near enough idiot proof. Its something that you can use to both wash and protect your outdoor clothing to bring it back up to full water repellent standards, thus helping to keep the weather out. ********************************************************** We usually pay £7.99 for a 300ml bottle of Granger's 2 in 1 Cleaner & Proofer but it can be as much as £1 more in some stores and anything less is a bargain. Its works really well and can breathe new life into tired outdoor waterproof jackets and trousers. It means items that were once waterproof and are now showing their age and not repelling water as well as they once did can be saved. To use the Granger's 2 in 1 Cleaner & Proofer you may want to pre-wash your outdoor clothing if its previously been washed in washing powder in order to get best results. We do this at the start of the season anyway, making sure that there is no washing powder residue in our machine or on our clothing. This way we can be sure of good results first time around. ********************************************************** Once we have done this general clean we add 3 capfuls of the product to a load of outdoor clothing including jackets and trousers plus hats. We wash those on a warm 30 / 40 degree hand wash cycle. Once this cycle has finished the clothing is ready for the final stage of re-proofing. If you have a tumble dryer, you just need to dry your clothing on a 50 degree drying cycle, until your full load is 100% dry. Then to make sure the re-proofing action is fully activated, add an extra 15 minutes in the dryer. This will ensure that your waterproof/ water repellent clothing is functioning almost as it did when new. ********************************************************** If you don't have a tumble dryer you can place your clothing items on a warm radiator to dry out and then leave it for a bit longer once dry, to ensure the waterproofing on the clothing is as good as it can be. You can do a quick test with a household spray gun filled with clean water, to check if the water is now beading on the clothing and running off. If water beading is not present to a great degree then the clothing may need another treatment to fully restore it to its former glory. Once we have completed the washing and drying cycle as above, for future washes we don't bother with an initial pre wash and just wash using the Granger's 2 in 1 Cleaner & Proofer straight off. ********************************************************** We have found that Granger's 2 in 1 Cleaner & Proofer is a simple but effective way to keep our outdoor clothing functioning as it should. Its much cheaper than buying new jackets every winter and means that we can keep an eye on how the water repellent qualities are and do a top up wash as and when needed. Just 1 bottle of the product can be enough for up to 10 washes, which works out at roughly 80 per wash cycle. This is so much cheaper than it would be to get our clothing professionally re-proofed and as its so easy to do I have to give the product a full 5 star rating, as it does what it should when it should.

Granger's 2 in 1 Cleaner & Proofer
by jacb1983 My family and I are lucky enough to live in the countryside and we try to get outside on a big walk together on the moors at least every weekend and some evenings. It's a nice way to get away from the house, the TV, the kids toys and back together all talking whilst getting some fresh air and exercise. The only real downside to this is ... the UK weather, and the kids ability to attract mud and puddles. To keep all of our outdoor clothes waterproof and to to top up the waterproof layer already on the clothes, I tried Grangers 2 in 1 Cleaner and Proofer. A 300ml black plastic bottle of this liquid cost me £8 at an outdoor equipment shop, and is meant to last for 10 washloads - to use it, you see, you add a capful to the washing machine load of clothes that need re-waterproofing and cleaning. The product cleans outdoor clothes by removing dirt and muddy stains, and it works best on clothing that's already waterproof - normal washing powder can't always penetrate the waterproof layer to clean them properly. The liquid also re-waterproofs items of clothing by re-coating their waterproof layer, but if you use them on non-waterproof items it won't make them waterproof. It just improves already waterproofed items. I actually found that the product lasted me 12 washes, which I thought was good value as it worked well on my family's waterproof trousers, jackets and anoraks to keep their waterproof ability high and topped up. My kids can now get the outsides of their clothes as wet and as dirty as they like as this product is really good at also getting the ingrained dirt out of clothes as it waterproofs.

Granger's 2 in 1 Cleaner & Proofer
by NicndDan This product was purchased in order for me to able to effectively and easily clean the outdoor equipment I and my family used on our long winter treks through the countryside and the various activities I get up to in my free time. Its intended to be used in the washing machine for outdoors items such as jackets, waterproof trousers and ... such like. It can be used on anything and wont do damage if you use it to clean non suggested clothing. This 300ml bottle costs between £7.50 and £9 at present and the one bit of value is that it lasts several washes. The bottle says 10 but I got at least 15 washes with decently filled washloads out of it and it still performed well cleaning even the toughest bits of dried in mud from my trousers and jackets. Its a 2 in 1 device - Cleans - As it says it removes tough dirt stains and other marks from items of clothing and works better with waterproof materials. It does clean normal clothes too but don't run the risk of it ruining your outfits. Waterproofs - The product also adds a waterproof coating to items. It basically serves to reinforce the existing waterproofing and wont have any effect on items that are not waterproof. I have found after several bottles of this and using it on many items of clothing that it has helped preserve the life of my clothes. Not only do they look cleaner but they seems more fit for purpose and generally more durable through using this! Also on CIAO Read the complete review |
