How to care for your ACAIs
It's important to take care of your ACAI product to ensure they perform their best and stand the test of time.
Our Garment Technologist, Rosie, has pulled together five top tips for you to look after your gear.
- Always wash your trousers at 30°
-
Avoid using fabric conditioners and standard detergents, although they make your clothes smell heavenly, they damage the performance of the DWR (durable repellent finish) which keeps your trousers shower-resistant.
-
Use Grangers Wash + Repel in every 2-5 washes, it provides total care to your trousers from thorough cleaning to restoring and maintaining water repellency.
-
To activate the DWR in Grangers Wash + Repel, either dry your trousers on the radiator or tumble dry on a low heat.
-
If you want to iron your trousers, they must be inside out and please note that we do not recommend ironing the Aventurites.

Hiya,
I recently bought the softshell flares and I’m trying to understand the aftercare for them. I understand from your website that I’m supposed to use a product on them to replenish the DWR every 3-5 washes but when it talks about washing them it says to not use standard detergent. Does this mean that on the times I’m not using the DWR product, I simply need to put them in for a rinse by themselves to clean them?
Thank you!
Bryony Lewis
