GORE-TEX stains after washing! What does that mean?
Hey:)
After washing my GORE-TEX jacket, it looked completely damaged. It was covered in stains. I thought it had been completely ruined by washing. However, it dried overnight and looks like new. Can someone explain these stains to me? Can I get rid of them with certain care products? They always come back as soon as the jacket gets wet.
LG and thanks in advance

There have been some splashes on the fabric that have damaged or lifted this impregnation from the Gorex. As a result, the fabric now absorbs water at the place, such as classic, normal fabric and thus assumes the other coloring. When it dries, the water disappears again and the fabric has the same color everywhere. You may be able to treat the jacket again with a textile impregnation and to improve whether it disappears completely again, I don't know.
I'm typing damage to the tissue. Water can now penetrate or absorb more and water stains are present. Once try a could help impregnate the places.

What kind of detergent did you use?
Liquid conventional detergent. In my opinion, as GORE-TEX recommends on its homepage.
