sniff6 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Scientists have created a silicone-based spray that makes phones waterproof, clothes completely stain-proof and window-cleaning a chore of the past. http://news.sky.com/home/technology/article/16110853 Ok so how do you wash your jeans??

neversaydie Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 I still have my Bri-nylon shirts. Anyone remember them? Bloody hell, yes. My old school shirts were Bri-nylon, made you sweat even on a cold day, that was in the 60s. Thought theyd long passed away, they deserve too How old are these shirts of yours then?
bindie Posted November 21, 2011 Posted November 21, 2011 cheapest waterproofing youll get is fabric conditioner, buy cheepo from supermarket , put loads in the main wash cycle of your washing machine, job done...maybe need to air for a couple of days to get rid of smell.. but it works
Moderator DirtyDT Posted November 21, 2011 Moderator Posted November 21, 2011 hi dirty, Bri-nylon ??? no never heard of it. LOL Read below and learn mate. Bloody hell, yes. My old school shirts were Bri-nylon, made you sweat even on a cold day, that was in the 60s. Thought theyd long passed away, they deserve too How old are these shirts of yours then? I havent really still got any. For those who cant remember them they were basically plastic woven garments, including underwear. Because they were plastic they never adsorbed anything so everything washed out. They did seem to go a dirty grey colour very quickly and made you sweat, especially the skiddies. cheapest waterproofing youll get is fabric conditioner, buy cheepo from supermarket , put loads in the main wash cycle of your washing machine, job done...maybe need to air for a couple of days to get rid of smell.. but it works I think fabric softener has the same basic ingredients as hair conditioner and they are interchangeable. I brought a 2 pack of Nickwax recently. The wash and the waterproofer. Highly recommended form me.
realrayzor Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 I spray my boots with WD40 and never have any leaks unless its raining cats and dogs.
