Car cover fabric performance can be severely affected by dirt that builds up on and within the material. It can cause the windshield and paint to become dirty and “fogged” as well as create “wicking” where it actually helps pull water through the fabric, nullifying any water resistant properties the fabric may have had. Cleaning your cover will help to keep your vehicle clean and to increase the service life of the cover.
NEVER...Clean
your car cover in a washer with a center agitator
NEVER...Use fabric softener.
NEVER...Dry a non-woven or specialty
type cover in a dryer.
Machine Wash Directions
- Using a large commercial washer without agitator, wash the cover using 1/4 cup of Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner (some WeatherShield covers are compact enough to be washed in a normal size washer). Put the cover in the washer and pour the cleaner in the tub after it’s filled with warm water or pour it directly in the machine (some wall mounted commercial units), then put in the cover and start the machine.
- Rinse the cover twice (2X) to remove all the cleaner.
- Air dry (Do not use a dryer to dry your cover)
Handwash on Car Directions
- Turn cover inside-out on the vehicle.
- Mix one ounce Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner per quart of warm water.
- Spray or sponge onto cover.
- Rinse with plain water (until no suds) and allow to air dry.
- Turn the cover right side out and repeat this process
