• Store your rope in a dry place away from the sun.

SLEEPING BAGS

• Air your sleeping bag regularly Millet to give it back some freshness and make sure it's dry before storing it.
• For sleeping bags that do not contain down, the general washing and drying conditions apply.
• For sleeping bags containing down, refer to "Products containing down".

DOWN-CONTAINING PRODUCTS

• For products containing down (100% or hybrid), machine washing is done on a delicate programme with a special down detergent or a non-aggressive detergent and accompanied by tennis balls to prevent the down from clumping together. If there is any washing agent left over, restart a rinsing programme on its own. Do not spin-dry the product in the washing machine.
• Drying can be done flat out in the open air by turning the product over regularly to dry it well, or in a tumble dryer on a delicate programme.

CLOTHES

• Clothing Millet should be machine washed at 30°C and tumble dried on a low temperature programme. To guarantee optimal washing without damaging the product, close the velcro, press studs and zippers and loosen the elastic cords before putting them in the machine.

CLOTHING with waterproof materials

• This is particularly the case for the following subjects: Gore-Tex, Polartec Neoshell, Dryedge, Windstopper, Element Shield...
• After closing velcros, zippers and press studs, wash your product at 30°C with a little non-aggressive detergent or a special detergent for waterproof materials. If there is any washing product left, restart a rinsing programme on its own. Drying can be done in the open air or in a tumble dryer at low temperature.

It is possible to use a specific product to re-waterproof your product or give it back its water repellency.
