  • -  Your waterproof clothing and equipment could be soaking up water because the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) has been compromised by dirt, or because it has been cleaned with a conventional laundry detergent.
    -  Dirt attracts water and household detergents leave water attracting (hydrophilic) residues, leading to fabric 'wetting out' in wet or damp conditions.
    -  If your waterproof clothing or equipment  is relatively new, or recently treated with a Nikwax waterproofer, then cleaning with Nikwax Tech Wash® will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt and residues left behind by household detergents, but also revitalise DWR.
    -  Conventional laundry detergents leave behind a water attractive (hydrophilic) residue which masks the Durable Water Repellency (DWR), causing fabrics to absorb water and ‘wet out’ in damp or wet conditions.
    -  Therefore, they need to be avoided when cleaning waterproof clothing and equipment.
    -  Products that claim to clean and waterproof at the same time are generally not very effective cleaners and may seal in dirt.
    -  Use Nikwax Tech Wash® to thoroughly clean your waterproof clothing and equipment safely, revitalise DWR and breathability.
     

     

    -  Regular cleaning will enhance the performance of your gear. With regular cleaning, you should be able to clean your gear 5-6 times with Nikwax Tech Wash before it requires re-waterproofing.

    -  When Nikwax Tech Wash® alone does not revitalise the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your gear (e.g. water does not bead on the fabric surface) it’s time to re-waterproof using the appropriate Nikwax waterproofer.

    -  Nikwax Tech Wash® is the market leader; it has been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof fabrics.
    -  Nikwax Tech Wash® is a highly effective cleaner.

    -  Additionally it will revitalise existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and revive breathability.

    -  It is the safe way to thoroughly clean your waterproof clothing and equipment.
    -  Application in a washing machine is quick, easy, and ensures that the whole garment is thoroughly cleaned.

    -  Nikwax takes great care to minimise the effect of Nikwax products on the environment and on you, the consumer.

    -  Nikwax avoids materials in its cleaners like palm oil, which may be sourced from unsustainable plantations.
    -  Nikwax Tech Wash® is environmentally friendly; it is non-hazardous, WaterBased and biodegradable.

     

    -  Use neat Tech Wash® and a sponge, or soft nylon brush, to treat stubborn stains before washing.
