Precautions

1. When the raincoat comes into contact with water, lift the collar and gently shake off the water droplets. Do not wipe it with your hands or a towel to prevent the rainproof performance from being reduced. After shaking off the water droplets, place it in a cool place to dry. When it is almost 80 to 90% dry, iron it once with an iron to maintain the waterproof performance. When storing, dry it in the sun and do not squeeze it.

2. After the raincoat is wetted, it should be dried in a cool place, away from the sun and fire, to prevent the adhesive layer from becoming sticky. Do not usually come into contact with oil, and do not use gasoline to clean it. It should be dried when stored. It is best to sprinkle some talcum powder. Pay attention to regular inspections. If any adhesion is found, spread it out and dry it in time.

3. Just wipe the plastic raincoat with a soft cloth after it rains. Do not expose it to the sun or fire. Generally, it is not necessary to wash it with soap that is too alkaline. If a plastic raincoat has wrinkles, you can soak it in hot water at 80°C for one or two minutes to eliminate the wrinkles. If you find any slits or holes, you can repair them yourself. First, cut a piece of plastic cloth larger than the hole to cover it, put a thin wire mesh (or wooden board) underneath, iron it with a hot iron, and the holes or cracks can be glued. It’s done. After the plastic raincoat cracks, do not sew or mend it, otherwise the hole will get bigger and bigger.

dress etiquette

Wearing a raincoat

A raincoat is a garment with a special purpose. Wearing a raincoat not only effectively prevents rain, but is also easier to use than an umbrella, so it is very popular among people. When wearing a raincoat, pay attention to the following points:

1. When visiting a relative or friend's home, after entering the house, you should take off your raincoat and put it in the bathroom, or give it to the host to put it in a suitable place. It is rude to hang the clothes casually and get the owner's clothes wet.

2. When taking a public vehicle or taxi, be sure to take off your raincoat. It is also immoral to wear a wet raincoat while squeezing among people just for your own convenience.

3. When shopping in a store, you should try not to lean on other customers to avoid getting other people's clothes wet; if there are many customers in the store and you have to stay in the store for a long time, you should take off your raincoat.

4. When you go to a public place to watch movies, plays or visit exhibitions, you should store your raincoat just like you store your coat. If there is no storage area, you should take off your raincoat, fold it, and put it in a safe place. Try not to Let the rainwater seep out.
