Description
How do I re-wax my waxed cotton skirt?
- Using a damp sponge clean of any excess dirt from the waxed cotton.
- Place your tin of wax cotton dressing in hot water to soften it.
- Apply thinly with a clean cloth to you waxed cotton.
- Paying extra attention to seams, pocket edges, and any particularly worn areas.
Re-waxing instructions can be found on the bottom of the wax tin.
I recommend re-waxing your skirt if it has been recently cleaned of mud or grease, as this will tend to have lifted some of the wax in the fabric or if you have worn your skirt for long periods in heavy rain.
The more you care for your wax cotton the longer it will last.
Waxed cotton Explained
We use Traditional English Waxed Cotton.
Waxed cotton fabric is waterproof but wherever the fabric is stitched there is a possibility it will allow water in. If you find that there is a leak in your skirt you can easily touch up the area with a wax dressing. Regular reproofing will help maintain the waxed cotton and prolong its life. You can purchase our recommended wax dressing or treat yourself to a handy waxed cotton care kit.

The best way to store you skirt, is to hang it up using the hanger at the back of the skirt. This will allow it to dry out and reduce the risk of it staying damp and mould forming.
