After using your heated apparel repeatedly for hiking, cycling, riding your motorcycle, climbing, skiing, skating, horseback riding, or just while going out to get some pizza with your friends, the truth is that your heated clothes won’t stay clean forever. There comes that time when your favorite heated jacket needs to “take a shower”.Get more news about heated shirt,you can vist our website!

But you’ve got your doubts. You may be afraid that its heating elements will stop working if you give your jacket a “bath”. And besides, you’ve been told that cable circuits normally don’t get along with water (your hair dryer’s warning label gives you a warm reminder every time you use it).
Step 1: Disconnect and remove the battery from the zipper pocket.
This is one of the most important steps when it comes to making sure that your ORORO Heated Apparel stays safe. It’s extremely important that you remove your rechargeable battery from your apparel as it cannot be submerged in water (it will stop working). So make sure you’ve removed it before proceeding with the next steps.
Step 2: Make sure you put the connector cable back and close the zipper pocket.
You want to keep the power cable safe, so once you’ve removed the battery from your heated jacket or heated vest, you must put back the connector cable and close the zipper. This will protect it during the washing cycle.
Step 3: Place your jacket inside a mesh laundry bag.
The wiring of your heated gear is delicate and requires additional care. We recommend that you put it inside a mesh laundry bag.
Step 4: Machine-wash it.
No dry cleaning. Your heated jacket prefers being washed in the washing machine at home, than at the dry cleaner’s. That’s good news, ain’t that right? This can save you a few bucks. Even if you do want to dry-clean it, please don’t. It also prefers machines with no agitators in the center, but if that’s the one you’ve got the use of the mesh bag will be very helpful. You can even place it inside a pillowcase.
Cold and gentle cycle. You need to treat it with care. Make sure to set your machine to gentle cycle and wash it in cold water. Though you may not like cold showers your ORORO loves them!
Step 5: Dry it.
Do not wring or twist: We know you want it to dry quickly so you can use it as soon as possible, but squeezing or twisting it will damage the wiring
Line dry: Heated apparel doesn’t like drying machines and needs to be line-dried. Another alternative is to lay it flat on top of a towel. Just make sure that you turn it over to the other side every now and then so that both sides dry up.
Do not iron: You can prevent wrinkles by removing it from the washing machine as soon as possible.
How to store your heated clothing?
If you’re going to store your heated jacket, hoodie, or vest, make sure to keep it in a place where there’s ventilation and that’s not very humid. You don’t want it to get moldy. And remember that you need to keep your battery where the temperature is 77°F ± 2°F and also keep it away from moisture (we recommend relative humidity levels 60 ±15% RH).

So, that’s all! Now you can invite your favorite heated jacket or vest for a “bath” when you feel it’s necessary. You don’t need to wash it every time you wear it, but deep inside you, you’ll always know when it’s time for taking your ORORO out on a date with the washing machine.
