Garment Care






Our parent friendly outerwear is machine washable! Wash in warm water under 40 degrees Celsius. We recommend putting the garment in the dryer after every wash or when wet to reactivate the eco-repel waterproof coating on the garment. Ironing can also reactivate the waterproof coating. Iron on a low setting not exceed- ing 110 degrees Celsius. (Do not iron the reflective transfers). Fairechild products should not be bleached or dry cleaned.

For stain removal, all stain removal products are considered safe on our garments. Please follow instructions as per the stain remover you are using. Avoid using abrasive material when scrubbing and instead use a soft cloth or the fabric itself. Put the garment in the washing machine following this procedure for the best results

The eco-repel finish on our garments can begin to relax and weaken after 20 washes. Heat reactivates and strengthens the coating of our garments. For the best results, we highly suggest putting your garment in the dryer every time you wash it. This will reinforce the eco-repel finish on the garment.

You can recoat our garments. We recommend using an eco-friendly coating product. We have not had a negative outcome yet with any coating products.

There is also waterproof, breathable membrane beneath the top layer which stops water from penetrating the fabric. The waterproof membrane has a water column of 20 000 mm (meaning the amount of water it can endure before leaking). Our garments can withstand at least 2-3 hours of rain before there is potential for the waterproof membrane to get overwhelmed and leak through. All of our products also have tape seams to stop leaks.
