Hello all,
I received my lovely new pair of Ron Hill dxb tracksters today, and there were loads of washing instructions. The one that got my was to use 'pure soap flakes' instead of regular washing detergent, or risk losing the waterproofing. This sounds so stupid - but what are 'pure soap flakes'?? Are they on the shelves right next to the regular washing powder?
Any washing tips for me then?
Thanks,
Hild

Just don't put the flakes in the automatic - they tend to foam a lot. Messy. Handwash only - sorry.
But may I please have a rant: does anyone else get perturbed by the sheer volume of laundry that this running vocation produces? I used to think that the solution was to buy more kit, but my flat is perpetually festooned in shorts, running tights, sports bras, and a million socks.
OK, I feel better now. Ta.

I wash everything on low temperature, with non-bio powder, and then let it air dry. But I guess I'll have to get some of thos Lux flakes now - thanks for the suggestion Nessie.
Never mind, I would rather have all this than be a couch potato!
I've had DXB Bikers for 2 years and they are always washed with normal detergents for automatics.They are still water resistant except for the bum area! The water resistant finish if applied correctly by the manufacturer should last indefinitely. Boring but true!
just keep running in yesterday's clothes - works for me. s.
