The Nikwax Tech Wash 300ml is a technical fabric cleaner, use when your waterproof clothing and equipment starts soaking up water. This “wetting out” happens because the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) has been compromised by dirt, or because it has been cleaned with a conventional laundry detergent. Dirt, oils, and other grime attract water, and household detergents leave water-attracting (hydrophilic) residues, causing the fabric to wet out and making you cold and damp.
Cleaning your rain jackets, ski jackets, and other outerwear and waterproof gear with Nikwax Tech Wash will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt and residues left behind by household detergents, but also revitalise existing DWR, keeping you warmer and drier.
