Clean + Reproof Service

How does the Clean + Reproof Service work?

Once you have completed your Clean + Reproof Service (or Down Care Service) order the next steps are:

  1. You will be sent a pre-paid Royal Mail postage label and QR code by email (within 1-2 working days of receiving your order) for you to send your garment to us.
  2. Once your garment has been safely received by our Technical Team they will carry out an observation report. This is to review the condition and outline anything that they may need to share with you ahead of the service. Please note that during busy periods this could take a little longer than usual.
  3. Once our team have completed their checks they will contact you via email with a Waiver Form that lists any observations, and confirms the description of your garment and contact details. If you can please then review, sign and return to us at your earliest convenience.
  4. Your garment will then be cleaned and reproofed by our Technical Team before being returned back to you, at the shipping address referenced in the Waiver form. You will be notified once it is ready for despatch.

For more information click the "I have a question about your Clean + Reproof Service" option from the dropdown on our Contact Us page.

How long does the Clean + Reproof Service take?

After placing your order you will receive a pre-paid Royal Mail postage label and QR code by email within 1-2 working days.

The service can take approximately two weeks from the date of us receiving your garment, including return time. This can be affected by amount of time taken to receive a waiver form confirmation and also by demand during busy periods of the season. We will do our best to notify of any potential delays at the time of your order.

I’ve ordered the service but don’t know where to send my garment?

Once you have completed your Clean + Reproof Service (or Down Care Service) order you will be sent a pre-paid Royal Mail postage label and QR code by email (within 1-2 working days of receiving your order) for you to send your garment to us.

Is my garment insured during the Clean + Reproof Service?

Once your item arrives at our headquarters, it is covered by us. When in transit, it is insured by Royal Mail.

We always recommend that you keep proof of postage when you send items to us.

Does the Clean and Reproof Service treat footwear?

No, our Clean and Reproof Service only treats clothing – both waterproof clothing and down & insulated clothing. To clean and reproof your footwear, you can do this from home with our Footwear + Gear Cleaner, followed by Footwear Repel Plus.

What is APT?

You may see “APT” logo on our bottles. Advanced Polymer Technology (APT) is Grangers’ own blend of fluorocarbon-free polymers and emulsions. Developed by our in-house Research and Development team, it’s formulated to provide a highly breathable and durable water-repellent finish to all outdoor gear.

Are your products cruelty-free/vegan?

Here at Grangers we’re big animal lovers, so we have never tested on animals. Our products are cruelty-free and have never been tested on animals. We also have a wide range of Leaping Bunny Vegan-certified products.

What is the expiration/BBE date of your products?

Our products do not have an expiry date, however, they do have a best before of five years. The date of manufacture can be found on the side of the bottle, pouch, tin or jar. Grangers’ products can still be used after their best before dates have passed; however, their performance may be slightly affected.

You don’t need to worry about residues when using our products. If they’re used according to our bottle instructions, all you’ll get is performance – no unwanted extras.

We have a wide range of products that are certified as biodegradable according to OECD 301A.

Are your products compatible with GORE-TEX?

All of our products, unless otherwise stated, are compatible with GORE-TEX and other breathable membranes.

Product Information – How To Use

Do I need to tumble dry my gear after reproofing or can I let it air dry?

All of our productions are durable air-dry formulations. However, for optimum performance, we recommend applying a small amount of heat where possible to your newly-reproofed gear, such as tumble drying on a low setting, using a hair dryer or hanging over a radiator. This is to increase the durability and performance of the treatment. If these aren’t viable options, air drying will still result in effective protection.

Should I use a spray-on or wash-in proofer?

All of our reproofers are equally durable. Our Clothing Repel provides all-over protection in one wash, and our Performance Repel Plus allows you to apply extra to areas prone to abrasion, such as where backpack straps sit. So the choice is yours.

Do I need to change the amount of water I use if I live in a hard water area?

You don’t need to worry about what water type you have when using Grangers. All our formulations perform the same regardless of hard or soft water.

Can I use Performance Repel Plus on my footwear?

Unfortunately, we do not recommend using Performance Repel Plus on footwear as the formula of the Performance Repel Plus is specifically designed to reproof clothing. However, Footwear Repel Plus is ideal for leather and suede boots, offering long-lasting protection against rain and stains with added conditioning.

Can I use Footwear Repel Plus on my clothing?

Unfortunately, we do not recommend using Footwear Repel Plus on clothing as the formula of the Footwear Repel Plus is specifically designed to reproof footwear and contains added conditioning making it compatible with all footwear uppers. However, Performance Repel Plus is ideal for waterproof clothing, offering long-lasting protection against rain and stains.

Do I need a tumble drier to clean my down/insulated items?

To fully restore the loft of your down jackets, properly drying is key. If down is left damp it can start to clump meaning it will no longer keep you warm and can look a little odd in appearance.

Can you use G-WAX/Waterproofing Wax on suede/nubuck footwear?

Our protective waxes (G-WAX and Waterproofing Wax) work best on smooth leather. Wax will darken the fabric of suede and nubuck footwear and flatten the nap, giving the appearance of smooth leather. However, Footwear Repel Plus won’t alter the appearance and if the nap does flatten, it can be revived with a suede and nubuck brush, whereas you cannot do that with the waxes.

Can I use a normal detergent to clean before reproofing?

Using a normal detergent will strip away the DWR whereas a technical detergent such as Performance Wash helps to prepare for reproofing and revives any existing repellency.

Can I use your Down Wash and Down Repel with hydrophobic down treatments?

All of our down formulations enhance existing hydrophobic properties without impairing performance.

Can I use Performance Wash to clean climbing ropes?

Performance wash is not a harsh detergent or soap so will be suitable for washing climbing ropes.

  1. Remove as much dirt and debris from the rope by brushing and shaking as possible.
  2. Fill a tub or very large container with warm water (30°C) and add a Grangers Performance wash.
  3. Soak the rope in the soap solution for about 20 minutes, for best results agitate with your hands or stir it.
  4. Rinse the rope thoroughly with clean water (ideally two rinses).
  5. Hang the rope up to dry completely before storing it away.
