Item description
A friendly reminder: mildew does serious damage to technical fabrics.
Peak Care: Professional Deep Cleaning for Ski Jackets and Waterproof Technical Wear
Ski wear and technical jackets are a skier's second skin. What makes them work is the waterproof, breathable membrane within the fabric and the durable water repellent (DWR) coating on the surface. But sweat, skin oils and dirt from the environment clog the membrane's micropores and reduce breathability. If a regular laundry uses the wrong detergent, it can also ruin the waterproofing for good.
Why Ski Jackets Shouldn't Go to a Regular Laundry
- Protecting the membrane pores: We use a professional technical-wear detergent that leaves no chemical residue, helping Gore-Tex and similar materials stay breathable.
- Restoring water repellency: Heat treatment or a professional reproofing agent brings back the surface "lotus effect", so water beads up instead of soaking into the fibers.
- Special low-temperature drying: Drying temperature is precisely controlled, so high heat doesn't loosen the seam tape or stiffen the fabric.
EN Laundry's Ski Jacket Care Process
- Full hand inspection: We check that the seam tape is intact at high-wear areas such as the underarms and cuffs, and hand pre-treat sweat stains on the collar.
- Washing with a professional neutral detergent: We never use fabric softener or bleach. We use a neutral detergent designed for technical fabrics that cleans thoroughly while protecting the fibers' natural oils and the coating.
- DWR reactivation: If the coating isn't badly worn, we reactivate it after washing, bringing the DWR water repellency back to 60–80%. If it's badly damaged, you can add our water-repellent treatment to apply a new DWR coating.
- Details and accessories: We condition the zippers so they don't stick from cold or snowmelt, and clean and check all hook-and-loop fasteners and buttons.
Regular Laundry vs. EN Laundry
| Item | Regular laundry service | EN Laundry ski jacket care |
|---|---|---|
| Detergent | Regular laundry detergent (leaves residue and damages waterproofing) | Technical-wear detergent (no residue, protects the membrane) |
| Waterproofing | May leak or feel stuffy after washing | Restores the DWR water repellency and keeps the jacket highly breathable |
| Seam tape | High heat can loosen the adhesive | Precise low-temperature control to extend the life of the seam tape |
| Insulation care | Down or synthetic fill clumps | Low-temperature drying with patting to keep it warm and lofty |
| Expertise | Treated like any other jacket | A dedicated standard procedure for technical fabrics |

Read Before Ordering: Care Notes & TermsTap to expand
Thank you for trusting us. To make sure your clothes and valuables get proper care and to protect both sides, please read the following notes carefully before sending items for cleaning:
1. Please check before sending items (basis of our disclaimer)
Empty all pockets:Please check pockets carefully before handing over items. We are not responsible for storing or compensating for cash, IDs, jewelry, earphones, receipts or other valuables left behind. If we find anything, we will keep it safe and return it, but please check to avoid unnecessary disputes.
Tell us about existing flaws:If a garment already has tears, loose seams, dye stains, fading, loose buttons, heavy yellowing or moth holes, please tell the counter staff when you drop it off, or let us know on LINE.
Valuable or high-end items (e.g. Chanel/Hermès bags, high-end leather, tailored suits): we recommend our premium care service (Luxury Item Care). Please check the item's current condition together with our staff in store or discuss it online (e.g. leather wear, oxidized hardware), and have it noted on the cleaning ticket.
2. Cleaning and stain removal results (reasonable expectations)
About difficult stains:For sweat, blood, ink, juice, paint, old yellow stains or mildew, we do our best with professional enzymes and stain removers on the affected area. If a stain is very old, or the fibers have already deteriorated or taken on the color, we cannot promise it will come out completely.
Special materials:
- Unstable or non-colorfast dyes: if a garment's dye is not colorfast, it may fade slightly after cleaning.
- Coatings / PU faux leather / waterproof seam tape: these materials have a limited lifespan (usually 2–3 years) and may peel or lose seam tape during cleaning due to hydrolysis and aging. If peeling has already started, it will usually get worse after cleaning, so please keep this in mind.
3. Storage of uncollected items
Collect on time:When your items are ready, we will send you a text message. Please collect them with your claim ticket within 30 days of the notice, or contact us to arrange delivery.
Late storage fee:From day 31, a storage fee of NT$10–20 per item per day applies to uncollected items (up to 3 months).
Abandonment of ownership:Items not collected more than 6 months after the notice date are considered abandoned by the customer. We may recycle, donate or otherwise dispose of them to free up storage space, and the customer may not object or claim compensation.
4. Checking items at pickup and handling disputes
Check on the spot:When collecting, please check on the spot that the number of items and accessories (e.g. belts, fur collars, liners) are complete, and check the cleaning quality.
Re-cleaning window:If you find an item not fully clean or poorly pressed, bring it back to the shop with your receipt within 3 days of pickup (with our laundry tag still attached and unworn), and we will redo it free of charge.
5. Compensation for loss or damage
We carry liability insurance. If a garment is seriously damaged, deformed or lost due to improper cleaning on our part, compensation follows the Ministry of Economic Affairs' "Mandatory and Prohibited Provisions for Standard Laundry Service Contracts":
- Regular garments: compensation is a multiple of the item's cleaning price (usually capped at 5 to 20 times, depending on depreciation).
- Valuable items without a declared value: if the value was not declared in advance and the item did not go through our premium care process, total compensation is capped (e.g. no more than NT$5,000–10,000).
Notes on Special Services
1. Down comforters / large bedding
Please check the bedding's care label when you buy it. Some natural silk and pure wool comforters are dry clean only or must not be washed. We never vacuum-compress animal fibers, to avoid physical damage to fibers and feather quills (down itself can be compressed).
2. Pet items
For hygiene, please remove loose hair and waste from pet clothing and beds before sending them in. We wash pet items separately using pet-specific disinfectant and dedicated machines, so you can send them with peace of mind.
