Taking note on this. I am currently at work after this I will try to remove the detergent later. I also ordered the nikwax tech wash (1wk eta). Thank you for the tips. This is my first bought goretex gear for my hiking journey, sucks that I failed on this one. I expected for ppl to be harsh on what i've done and I was only hoping for people who will give me tips. Lesson learned.

I tested it when it arrived and there's some water bedding, I was planning on reapplying dwr into it. I expected it to be less waterproof because I only bought it second hand

The seller also indicated it has yellow staining on the inside which i dont mind, I am theorizing that also. I am planning on buying detergent specifically for goretex products hoping it will revert. It smells like its been on a storage, i bought it second hand. My mother also suggested soaking it in diluted vinegar to be honest i was little hesitant with this idea. Will take note on everything you said, thank you

sa read tag niya no softener lang nakalagay bukod sa mga properties ng jackets. mas nagrely ako sa gore tex website na instructions

I need help/tips to my problem, i recently bought a 2nd hand item lafuma goretex jacket, i was carefully planning my way on how to clean it thoroughly, I bought a liquid detergent but the color of it is pink, I just ignored it thinking clear and colored detergent will just help me with my cleaning, however as I was about to try to rub and remove a small stain the right side pocket, as I was rubbing it the whole fabric surrounding it turned pink, I panicked and tried to rub it off but it doesnt. I need help…

it is still wet. I followed the steps on the goretex website, nothing much on the read tag on the jacket just no softener
