Unexpected weather conditions and daily spills can quickly damage or stain expensive clothing, furniture covers and tablecloths. When natural fabrics such as cotton, linen or wool become soaked, they lose their comfort and protective function. HG Waterproofing for cotton, linen, wool offers a reliable, invisible barrier that effectively supports your textiles against moisture and dirt. This way, you protect the materials you are attached to, extend their lifespan and maintain their natural appearance.

Key benefits

• Optimal moisture protection: Makes natural materials such as wool, cotton and linen reliably water-repellent.
• Dirt-repellent effect: Prevents dry and liquid dirt particles from penetrating deep into the fibres, making stains less likely to adhere.
• Versatile use: Extremely suitable for daily applications such as children's clothing, rainwear, jeans, furniture covers and tablecloths.
• Simple application: Effortlessly used via both a simple hand wash and directly in the washing machine.

How it works

This highly concentrated product lays a microscopically thin, protective layer around the individual fibres of the textile. Without affecting the breathable properties of the fabric, this barrier ensures that water droplets and dirt do not soak into the fabric, but simply slide off. Ironing the fabric before it dries activates and strengthens this protective effect for an optimal result.
