How easy is care and maintenance of a WeatherShieldHP cover?
A – Because the fabric is so compact, most car-sized covers can be cleaned in a HOME washer and dryer. Using just a 1/4 cup of Simple Green concentrated biodegradable cleaner the cover can be washed in cold or warm water. Covers should always be run through at least two rinse cycles to remove all the cleaner residue. The cover can then be dried in most dryers using the “Permanent Press” settings. The warmth of the dryer actually rejuvenates finish and we recommend covers be dried an extra 30 minutes, with mild heat, after the regular dry time (see instruction sheet). Most times, when a cover is “wets-out”, it is because of contamination and dirt on the surface of the fabric that allows moisture to migrate through the material. When washing, it is critically important to rinse the cover thoroughly – any cleaner residue will also allow moisture to pass through the cover.
