Washing SealSkinz can be washed in the machine – but at no more than 40°C. Ideally, they should be washed and dried at temperatures of 30 ºC or below. When washed at higher temperatures the adhesive that holds the membrane in place between the inner and the outer layer melts and your sock ‘delaminates’. When this happen your SealSkinz® will rustle – they will also need to be thrown away ... Drying As with washing, if SealSkinz® are subjected to temperatures over 40°C, or indeed direct heat (such as a radiator, or an iron) then they can delaminate. The best way to dry them, after washing, is to turn them inside out and dry them in the airing cupboard or drip dry overnight. |
