Grangers Proofers Now Air Cured

By Jon

No more ironing or tumble-drying needed when you reproof using Grangers.

The big news from Grangers is that their proofing products, with the exception of their 2in1 Cleaner/Proofer, are now air cured, so there's no need for ironing or tumble drying.

Grangers 30˚ products

Previously the proofing formula used by Grangers had to be heat activated by either a tumble drier or by ironing, but now it's simply a case of applying the proofer and leaving it to dry - just like Nikwax in fact.

Grangers says that the DWR treatment works just as well as before, but is now simply easier to apply. The one exception is the 2in1 Cleaner/Proofer, which still needs to be heat treated.

Also new is a single footwear proofing product which can be used on leather, suede and fabric boots and comes in either spray-on or dab-on form. Previously there were three different types.

Millets shops sell a number of "own brand" proofing and cleaning products which are made for them by Grangers.  They appear to be similar to those described above. I have used a number of the products leather conditioner, leather waterproof treatment and an "Air Dry" fabric proofer and they all work well.
