Review on Grangers Repel Clean Water Repellent by Trisha Griffin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The wash and repel feature is so-so. But loosen up your jackets.

Washed 5 Uniqlo ultra light down jackets with 1 bottle. Stains are not removed. But the smelly smell is almost gone. If you have oily skin and hair the smell might not go very far (my nephew's jacket still smells of grease). However, it does not smell fresh after washing. Water repellency is so-so. Jackets look a bit fluffy after washing. But it didn't ruin my family's jackets, so that's a plus. Psychologically, I found the jackets to be clean. hp I washed them individually on a gentle cycle (cold, spin a little and slightly/normally soiled). I tumble dried them on Extra Delicate for 25 minutes with 2 baby size bath towels and 4 balls. I left it in the dryer for 10 minutes after the 1st cycle. Then I check the jacket to see the progress. I then proceeded to dry it on an Air Dry cycle depending on how dry the jacket was. This somewhat reduced the first jacket I tried as I ran a few more times in extremely low heat.

Pros
  • POWERFUL down cleaning combined with water repellent washability in a one-step wash process / Grangers made in England since 1937
Cons
  • Out of fashion
