Hi,
Googled through the archives and found some info., but would like to
clarify.
The 'beading' effect of the surface treatment is reactivated by tumble
drying.
If you don't have a tumble drier (and are not close to a launderette) then
a cool iron may work (but is it as effective?).
Using a hair drier has also been suggested.
So does anyone know how warm the material has to become to reactivate the
treatment?
Would hanging a garment in a warm airing cupboard be enough?
Would draping it over a hot radiator do the trick (if so, how hot?)?
Heated towel rail?
If an iron works then presumably it is the heat and not the hot air flow
that is important?
We have always avoided tumble driers because they seem environmentally
unfriendly compared to air drying.
Should we accept that walking is more environmentally friendly than
driving, and trade this off against buying a tumble drier?
[Not that we have anywhere convenient to put his ]
TIA
