Cleaning Loden: How do I clean Petromax Loden the right way?

Your equipment made of Petromax Loden is absolutely low maintenance. It’s because Loden is both spark resistant and odour resistant by nature, you can wear your Petromax Loden clothing on exhausting trips or around a campfire without absorbing body odour and smoke

It is sufficient to air your Petromax Loden the next day in order to make it smell fresh again. In case your clothing got really wet, let it dry in lying position (do not hang up). Let dry persistent dirt (mud etc.) and remove it then with a soft clothes brush. 

Usually, your Petromax Loden clothing needs no washing. It’s okay to take it to wash it from time to time with the specially developed Bio Hand Wash Detergent or to have it dry-cleaned from time to time. 

Your Petromax Loden is iron-safe because in doing so you smooth the wool fibres and thus support the water and wind resistance. Set your iron at medium temperature and smooth the clothing surface with little pressure. You should cover the chest and shoulder areas with ironing paper.

Do Petromax Cast-Iron products need to be seasoned?

All Petromax cast-iron products are pre-seasoned. You do not need to season them before the first use, as we did that for you. Delivered ready-to-use you can – after a brief rinsing with hot water – try them out immediately. Please make sure to never let seasoned cast-iron products come into contact with dishwashing detergent.

For a long lifespan cast iron needs some care. If the patina has been affected or your Petromax Cast Iron shows spots of rust at places, due to too much moisture in stowage, you can counteract easily with a few simple steps. Petromax Cast Iron is robust and forgives small handling errors. If such a case arises, according to the intensity of the rust, you either just need to add some grease (due to longer preservability we recommend Petromax Care Conditioner for Cast and Wrought Iron) or re-season your cast iron. How you handle that task you find out in the user manual for Petromax Cast Iron on page 4.

Where is Petromax produced?

Since 1910 the dragon brand Petromax stands for German engineering skill, tradition and highest quality. Until today, this mission statement accompanies us on a daily basis, especially when it comes to development and production of our products.

As a result, the Petromax High Pressure Lamp is assembled by hand from more than 200 individual parts in our manufacture at Magdeburg company location. All our products originate from in-house development at company headquarters in Germany. Every day our product development department, a team of engineers and product designers, designs, constructs, tests and improves new products in Magdeburg. In terms of production of our natural and traditional clothing fabrics in Germany we strongly pay attention to animal welfare – for instance the Loden made in Germany is produced 100 % mulesing free. Also, a considerable part of our cooking equipment is made in Germany, such as our Griddle and Fire Bowls as well as our Wrought-Iron Pans, the Hobo Stove or the Tripod Lashing.

To meet the high standards of quality, the high product standards as well as the expectations of our customers regarding cast iron, we decided to establish our very own production line for cast iron in Asia. We could by no means achieve the product quality of Petromax Cast Iron with production in Germany. That way, we can directly influence production standards and quality testing and control. Certification of our cast-iron products takes place afterwards by an independent German institute, so that you can always be sure about the high quality of our products.

For centuries, Loden fabrics are already known as resilient textiles for outdoor clothing and are utilised until today, for instance as hunting garments. Petromax Loden consists of 100 % milled sheep's wool – mulesing free, sustainable and without additives. The manufacture of the durable Loden fabric takes place in Germany following traditional methods in several complex work stages. When milled the spun and woven wool is so strongly tamped in water that due to the resulting pressure and friction extreme compression is achieved. Only this makes the natural fibres become extremely robust, dimensionally stable, spark-resistant as well as resistant against water and wind. Thus, Petromax Loden Clothing is of highest quality. How to care for Petromax Loden? Petromax Loden Clothing is very low-maintenance and when observing the following tips, will endure many years of adventures: After wearing a simple airing of the garments suffices for them to smell fresh once again. Milled Loden does not absorb odours and proves resistant against body odours or smoke odour. Rough dirt can be brushed out dryly. Usually, Loden does not need to be washed. For strong and persistent dirt Loden clothing can washed with the specially developed Bio Hand Washing Detergent or it can be dry cleaned. Regular ironing condenses the surface once again and preserves water-resistance. For that purpose, adjust your iron to medium and smooth out your garment surface with low pressure.
