Dryrobe® Advance

The Dryrobe® Advance does not need washing regularly. If it gets covered in mud or sand, try shaking it off or cleaning it with a damp sponge. Due to the Dryrobe’s waterproof outer shell fabric washing should be limited as much as possible, as the process could age the garment, the same as with any other outdoor waterproof clothing. Unless you get it very dirty and would prefer it clean, your Dryrobe will function just the same if simply dried at room temperature between uses. In fact, it works just the same even if it's covered in mud, gets forgotten about and lives in the car between uses. (We've tested it too!).

Never expose the Dryrobe to heat sources of any kind, drying it this way could lead to the inner lining losing its warming and quick-drying properties. The Dryrobe® Advance is machine washable if it’s absolutely necessary, preferably within a Guppyfriend Washing Bag to help reduce the flow of microfibres going into your drain. It will retain its waterproof properties and will last and last if guidelines are followed.

Washing Instructions

  • Wash your Dryrobe inside out (ideally in the Guppyfriend Washing Bag)
  • A gentle or delicate machine wash at MAX 30 degrees. Cold wash by hand is recommended if at all possible
  • DO NOT hot wash
  • DO NOT dry clean or iron
  • IMPORTANT: use a non-bio powder or a technical cleaner like Nikwax Tech Wash
  • DO NOT use a fabric conditioner
  • After the spin cycle, hang or lay flat and dry at room temperature. DO NOT tumble dry

Microfiber Pollution Prevention

Using a Washing Machine Filter or a filter bag such as the Guppyfriend Washing Bag can significantly reduce the flow of microfibers into your drain.

Replenishing Water-Repellency

Dryrobe® is treated with an eco-friendly PFC-free Durable Water-Repellant finish (DWR). Once your Dryrobe® has been thoroughly worn or washed multiple times, you may need to revitalise the DWR. If water is no longer beading up on your Dryrobe, it’s time to put on another finish with a DWR treatment with a solution such as NikWax.

We’d recommend using Nikwax Tech Wash, followed by re-proofing with Nikwax TX Direct. You can also use Nikwax Tech Wash multiple times before needing to reproof your Dryrobe® Advance due to the Tech Wash formula cleaning without removing the DWR, as some detergents tend to do.

Towel Dryrobe®

Chlorine from a swimming pool and the sun are bleaching agents, and so some lightening of the colour or discolouration can occur if the towel is overexposed to these.
