Good morning all

My Ralley jacket is in desperate need of a wash. It is not covered by just dust, but dead bugs, sweat, greasy residue and all kinds of mess that it gets exposed to when being worn full time on a 2 week trip.

Washing in just cold water is probably not going to do the trick. I'm planning to take out the protectors and put it in the washing machine on a normal cycle with normal amount of soap plus a cupful of Vanish.

I'm not sure what may ruin the jacket (shrinking, or destroying waterproofing) Any suggestions, or things I should not do?
