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:
[i]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!![/i]
Hope this helps!
Wow! That's a slightly more definitive answer than we usually manage in this place.
Thanks eaststandlower. 😀
