How do you use HG waterproof for clothes and fabrics?
There are various methods to waterproof textiles and to make them dirt repellent.
Waterproof cotton fabric with the hand-wash method:
- Ensure that the clothing to be treated is clean and dry.
- Add 6 litres of water to a bucket and add the entire bottle of HG waterproof for clothes and fabrics.
- Put the clothing in the bucket and turn it regularly during 15 minutes.
- Then rinse the clothing with cold water, hang it up and leave it to air dry.
- Preferably iron the clothing before it is fully dry, because this enhances the effect of HG waterproof for clothes and fabrics.
Waterproof cotton textiles with the washing machine method:
- Ensure that the clothing to be treated is clean and dry.
- The detergent tray of the washing machine must be completely free from detergent remnants. So clean the detergent tray thoroughly first. Detergent diminishes the effectiveness of HG waterproof for clothes and fabrics.

- Start the cycle and after 15 seconds add the entire bottle of HG waterproof for clothes and fabrics to the running water in the detergent tray.
- Leave the cycle to finish and dry the clothing in the usual way.
- Preferably iron the clothing before it is fully dry, because this enhances the effect of HG waterproof for clothes and fabrics.
