RESTORING WATER REPELLENCY

• Products with a water-repellent finish can lose this property through irregular or improper care and even normal use.
• You will notice the loss of this property as water hitting the water-repellent finish does not form droplets, but quickly absorbs.
• Restoration of water repellency can be achieved by impregnation with suitable impregnation sprays.
• Apply the impregnating substance from the spray bottle by spraying onto the surface of the top fabric in accordance with the instructions on the spray bottle.
• Don't confuse water repellency with water resistance!
