The year 2025 has marked a remarkable milestone for British outdoor aftercare pioneer Grangers: 20 years since the launch of its revolutionary Wash + Repel Clothing 2 in 1


First introduced in 2005, this groundbreaking product changed the way outdoor enthusiasts cared for their gear, becoming the world’s first and only aftercare solution to clean and reproof in a single wash. Today, two decades later,


Grangers remains the only brand in the world to offer this unique formulation — a testament to the company’s enduring innovation, expertise and commitment to sustainable performance.


Founded in 1937, Grangers


has spent nearly 90 years helping people enjoy the outdoors, whatever the weather. By the early 2000s, its technical team, then led by current CEO and technical director Karolina Jones, had already earned a reputation for pushing boundaries. Karolina herself came up with the concept of combining cleaning agents and waterproofing chemistry in one bottle. It was a concept thought of by the industry as impossible, but Karolina was determined to deliver a solution that offered performance and eco-responsibility combined. The challenge lay in uniting the


two opposing chemical functions: cleaners, which remove dirt and grime, and repellents, which create a water-resistant barrier. Typically, these ingredients cancel each other out. Yet through relentless testing, scientific ingenuity and a deep understanding of textile performance, Grangers’ technical experts succeeded where others failed. The result was Wash + Repel


Clothing 2 in 1, a solution to clean and reproof technical waterproof gear. This was then joined by Wash + Repel Down 2 in 1, designed specifically for insulated and down-filled garments. Both products quickly became staples in the outdoor aftercare market, trusted by mountaineers, athletes and everyday explorers alike. Two decades on, Grangers’ 2 in 1 technology remains unmatched.


Sustainability has always been


at the heart of every formulation. Both Wash + Repel Clothing 2 in 1 and Wash + Repel Down 2 in 1 are PFAS-free, bluesign-approved and biodegradable, ensuring exceptional performance without environmental compromise. Each bottle is made from 100% recycled Prevented Ocean Plastic, reflecting Grangers’ commitment to reducing waste and protecting the world its customers love to explore. By combining two care stages


into one, the products also save water, time and energy, offering a smart and sustainable solution for modern consumers. Over 20 years, 2 in 1 has saved Grangers’ customers an astronomical 34 million litres of water, more than 341 million watts of energy, and over 64 years of time*. So, not only have users saved valuable resources and money, they’ve been given more time to get outdoors and explore. For those who want their waterproofs, skiwear and down jackets to perform season after season, the Wash + Repel 2 in 1 range delivers lasting protection with minimal effort. The appeal of Grangers’ 2 in 1


products lies in their simplicity combined with technical expertise. Outdoor clothing, from breathable shells to insulated jackets, depends on durable water-repellent coatings to stay effective. Over time, these coatings wear away, and performance declines. Grangers’


2 in 1 formula not only removes dirt and odours but restores water repellency in one simple wash cycle, leaving garments clean, fresh and ready for their next adventure — performance restored. Whether it’s a quick weekend hike


or a winter expedition, Grangers helps make gear care effortless — ensuring your clothing performs as well as you do. As we move into a new era of


conscious consumption and PFAS- free outdoor gear, Grangers’ Wash + Repel 2 in 1 remains as relevant as ever — an enduring reminder that the best innovations make life simpler, better and more sustainable.


*THESE STATISTICS ARE BASED ON TOTAL SALES AND THE AVERAGE TIME TAKEN TO TREAT GEAR IN SEPARATE WASHES COMPARED TO A SINGULAR WASH.


Because the heart of every great adventure isn’t just the journey, it’s the preparation that makes it possible. And for 20 years, Grangers’ pioneering 2 in 1 has ensured that wherever you go, you’re ready for it.
