So the directions for Atsko Permanent Water-Guard say to wash, spray the garment, then heat set with either a hot iron or hot dryer. Atsko directions say to follow the garment laundering instructions regarding the dryer temp, to use the highest temp that those directions will allow. Okay. So one of my rain jackets says put in dryer on low heat and another says dryer on 'warm'. But what does that mean??? My dryer has four settings: Low, Knit, Permanent Press, and High… And how do I know if the low on my dryer is as low as other dryers… could be the same as medium heat on other dryers. Or, perhaps the medium heat on my dryer is as hot as high heat on other dryers. Bottom like is I don't want to ruin any of my rain jackets with too much hear, but I do want to run them through hot enough to get a good 'set' of the Atsko DWR treatment. For the record, I am treating two Marmot Precip jackets (one says to tumble dry warm, the other tumble dry low) and a Marmot Mica jacket (says tumble dry low).
Please advise… do I just run them through on low or do I risk a higher setting?
thanks,
Billy
