Cleaning your IceArmour suits?

[Finlander]

A friend of mine at work asked me if and how you would clean these suits, so I thought some expert here would have some insight about this!

Was going to wash mine yesterday and looked at the tag on the inside and it said to hand wash. Might just waer it out in the rain or roll around in the snow instead.

my wife washed them in the washing machine.. then threw them in dryer they look like new... PS DO NOT HAVE YOUR WIFE ADD DRYER SHEETS as mine did.. left marks all over from the dryer sheets.. other than that only other thing would maybe dry clean..

and the marks did come off from the dryer sheets with a little elbo grease!!

MY wife use Fels Napha bar soap. Takle the bar and get the end of the bar wet, rub it on the suit and wipe it down with water on a rag or wash cloth. Takes out about every stain I can put in it. One should be able to find this bar soap in the grocery stores.

I pre-treat with Revivex soap and then wash in Revivex. After washing, I spray with the Revivex waterproofing product. Fantastic products that are designed for rain ware and other outdoor gear.

after you wash the suit, tumble dry and remember to spray the hole suit with water proof... .

doesnt waterproofing the suit take away the breathing quality's? I wash mine (strikemaster) every spring and it works great and is still 100% waterproof after 3 years? Just throw it in on gentle, then dry on low....The Striker suits are the same way.

If you wash your suit you will wash the water proof coating out of the fabric and you will need to re water proof it with a product like the already mentioned revivex.

Funny this came up, I just did a short video on protecting your Ice Armor investment.

I wash mine in cold water, with basic laundry detergent, at least once a year. I then re-waterproof after I hang dry it. I use mine a lot throughout the season, so doing this every so often is needed. If you are a casual user, maybe every other year it will be needed.

I pre-treat nasty spots , throw it in the washer on a warm water cycle and tumble dry on low heat (never hot)with the bibs and jacket inside out. You can also throw in a couple tennis balls to help with the drying process (just like people do with down comforters).

I pulled out my IceArmor last Saturday to go out on the boat and I forgot how dirty my suit was from last ice season. I washed it two nights ago using the products I listed earlier in this thread. I pre-treated areas and did some mild scrubbing before putting the suit in the washing machine. I saw the water coming out of the machine and I was amazed at how much dirt accumulates on the fabric over the course of an ice season. Reminded me of what the water looks like when I clean my boat carpet.
