Maintenance and cleaning of windbreaker
A windbreaker is a lightweight jacket typically used to resist wind and light precipitation. To keep your windbreaker looking good and performing well, you need to maintain and clean it properly. Here are some helpful tips:
- Follow washing instructions: Each windbreaker brand and model may have different washing instructions, so be sure to read the label instructions carefully. Generally, it is recommended to use a mild detergent and fabric softener, and tumble dry on low heat.
- Clean regularly: Even if there are no obvious stains, you should clean your windbreaker regularly. After each wear, wipe the surface with a damp cloth, especially the collar and cuffs.
- Waterproof treatment: Most windbreakers are treated with water repellent or waterproof coatings, but these treatments can wear off over time. To maintain the water-resistance of your windbreaker, you can apply a waterproof spray or wash-in treatment periodically.
- Store properly: When you’re not wearing your windbreaker, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing it, as this can damage the waterproof coating.
By following these tips, you can keep your windbreaker in good condition and extend its lifespan.
