We have created the washing
links above to help in the care and feeding of your JL technical
garments. Follow the instructions specific to your garments and
you will continue to enjoy the bright colors and powerful compression
of your rowing clothing for many seasons. If you have any questions
be sure and contact us!
:
For best results, pre-treat before you use the garment.
- Fill a basin with cold water and a small
amount of non-bleach detergent.
- Drop a single garment in and submerge completely.
- Wash it out quickly; do not leave your
garment in the water to soak.
- Squeeze it to remove excess water, and
rinse immediately in another full basin, or in fresh running
tap water until water runs clear.
- During this process, do not leave your
garment in a wad.
- Squeeze to remove excess water, and hang
to dry.
- Follow these steps at least twice, then
your garment should be ready to join the rest of your cold-wash
laundry.
- Hang Dry. Do not use dryer.
If your garment contains Polypropylene (check
the content label) note that it boasts the lowest melting temperature
of any fiber, so please, puleeeeze don't put it in the dryer.
The good news is, that polypropylene also will dry the fastest
of any fabric, so hang it in a warm, airy place and you should
be good to go in a day or so.
Your garment is
made of a combination of Ultrex, Polypropylene, Drywick, and/or
Polarfleece.
Please
check
the
content labels so that you can treat it accordingly.
Use cold water, washing bright and dark with
like colors, then drip dry. In a pinch you can put your garment
in a medium temperature dryer, but keep in mind that anything
with lycra in it will live longer if you hang dry. And though
you may not notice, the reason your Turtle or Splashjacket is
so comfy and moveable is because of the stretchable parts! So
take care of them.
In case you have Polypropylene in your garment
(check the label) you need to know that Polypropylene has the
lowest melting temperature of any fiber, so please, puleeeeze
don't put it in the dryer. Especially please don't let your athletic
department put your polypro things in their industrial strength
dryers.

substitute for detergent.
