Item description
Complete Protection: Professional Deep Cleaning for Ski Pants and Technical Pants
Ski pants are one of the most easily damaged parts of your ski gear. Besides cold and snowmelt, the knees and seat take a lot of stress from constant bending and sitting, so the waterproof, breathable membrane can wear out and stop working. The hems also pick up snow, mud, sand and grease from the ground. Without professional treatment, this dirt works into the fibers, can't be removed and causes discoloration.
Why Ski Pants Need Specialist Care
- Targeted stain removal: For stubborn stains on the hems and seat, we draw on our knowledge of cleaning chemistry and choose solvents that are gentler on the membrane, cleaning these areas by hand.
- Protecting the seam tape: The seams of ski pants are sealed with waterproof tape, which high-temperature washing can loosen. We use a precise low-temperature process to extend the life of the tape.
- Restoring breathability: Sweat and skin oils from long days of activity build up inside the pants and clog the breathable micropores. Professional cleaning effectively removes this buildup, so you stay dry and comfortable on the slopes.
EN Laundry's Ski Pants Care Process
- Wear and waterproofing check: We check the knees, the scuff guards inside the hems and the seat, and assess how much of the waterproof coating remains.
- Targeted pre-spotting: Grease, grass stains and mud, common on the hems, are emulsified with a dedicated enzyme detergent so the stains don't set.
- Gentle technical-wear wash: A neutral detergent made for technical wear removes deep-down dirt while keeping the fibers strong.
- DWR heat reactivation: Even, temperature-controlled heat reactivates the water-repellent surface, so water forms beads and runs off instead of soaking into the fabric.
- Air drying and seam tape check: Natural circulating-air drying helps the fill (such as synthetic insulation or down) regain its loft, and we make sure all the sealing tape stays firmly bonded.
Regular Laundry vs. EN Laundry
| Item | Regular laundry service | EN Laundry ski pants care |
|---|---|---|
| Stain removal | Machine washed with everything else; hem dirt is hard to remove | Heavily soiled areas pre-treated by hand |
| Waterproofing | The coating often breaks down from the wrong detergent | Restores and strengthens the DWR water repellency |
| Material protection | Seam tape loosens and the fabric stiffens | Precise low-temperature control to extend the garment's life |
| Feel after washing | Stuffy and less stretchy | Breathable and comfortable to wear again |
| Details | Accessories and lining odors are overlooked | Includes zipper lubrication and deep deodorizing of the lining |

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.
