Washing instructions on the kid’s ski gear say to wash them with soap flakes.

Missus dug out a box of “Miracle Acdo Soft & Gentle”:

Is this okay to use on stuff with a DWR coating?

It doesn’t actually say “soap flakes” but it does say it is non-bio and does not contain enzymes.

(My own Gore-tex/tech stuff gets washed in Granger’s – but not using that on the kids stuff unless I need to!)

*bump for the evening crowd*

Clucking bell, I’ve not seen that stuff in about 30 years. Have you had it carbon-dated?

I’m not sure but I wouldn’t over tighten the mangle before passing through after you’ve rinsed them.

I had a dealer trip to Gore recently. They said non-bio was the main thing and detergents OK.

Have you had it carbon-dated?

Our local Spar sells it. Mind you, I’m not sure the 80s ever got as far as Northumberland.

Saw this last night and pinged the bloke who owns ACDO a mail – I know him and he is a keen cyclist 🙂 His reply came back this morning:

Answer is yes its fine for waterproof/high tech stuff as its non-enzyme and a less aggressive detergent base.

Maybe you can reply with my comments?

As a cyclist, I have been washing all my high-tech stuff in Miracle Acdo for years!!

Hope this helps!

Wow! That’s a slightly more definitive answer than we usually manage in this place.

Thanks eaststandlower. 😀
