Product Questions & Answers:
Can the Polylon robe be damaged? Is it durable?
The original Polylon robes that we made in 1973 are still
being used today. At the peak of baptisms in our church, we were baptizing
over 400 people each year. We warn churches not to dry clean the robes,
wash the robes in hot water, or dry the robes in a home or commercial
dryer on the WARM cycle. Simply wash the robes in cool water and allow
them to drip dry. For those who follow our instructions, the robes
should last for years.

What makes the Polylon
robe so modest?
The nylon combines with a special backing to give the robe modesty.
The culotte design will not float up. Some churches use their robes
for baptisms in the open where converts walk in view of everyone to
and from the pool.

Are the Polylon
robes easy to use?
The one-piece design allows converts to remove his or her clothing,
step into the robe, zip it up and enter the baptistery in seconds.
Afterwards, they come back to the dressing booth, slip off the robe,
hang it on a hanger, dry off and get back into their clothes in a
couple of minutes.

What makes the Polylon
robe so convenient for those who clean up after baptisms?
The nylon with the special backing simply sheds water...it can
not absorb water. Water simply beads up and rolls off into the pool.
Very little water is carried out of the pool. Compare this to the
cotton garments (weighted, heavy, water-absorbing) which carry a lot
of messy, damaging water out of the pool.

How can I care for my Polylon
robes to make them last for years?
ABOVE ALL...AVOID HEAT! Do not dry clean. Do not dry in a home
or commercial dryer. Heat can age the nylon and separate it from the
special backing. Avoid any bleach. Wash in cool water with delicate
agitation and drip dry for best results. If heavy chlorine is used
in the pool, always wash the robes.

Does the Polylon robe
cling?
Most robes pull down with a powerful suction and produce an embarrassing
cling when immersed. Polylon robes, because of the backing, eliminate
most cling even when wet.

Will the Polylon robe
float?
The culotte design gives the appearance of a robe, but with the
culotte modesty of not floating up.
(Return to Product Questions)
Is the Polylon robe
water repellent?
Nylon combined with our special backing can not absorb water.
Water on the Polylon robe beads up like a duck's back, and most drops
back into the pool as the convert exits. This is totally different
from the absorbent heavy cotton.
