Nikwax Tech Wash Waterproof Clothing Cleaner 150ml

Technical cleaner for waterproof clothing

The safest way to thoroughly clean your waterproof gear and clothing while refreshing impregnation and breathability. Nikwax Tech Wash Waterproof Clothing Cleaner offers powerful cleaning without damaging the water repellent properties. Suitable for all types of waterproof clothing and equipment. Removes water-attracting dirt and detergent residue.

Why breathability depends upon water repellency
Breathable waterproof garments are most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability. Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on the outer fabric of your jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort. Tech Wash will revitalise the DWR and therefore breathability of your garment.

Use Tech Wash when your waterproof clothing and equipment soaks up water
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 Tech Wash will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt and residues left behind by household detergents, but also revitalise DWR.

How Tech Wash maintains your gear
Nikwax Tech Wash is the market leader; it has been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof fabrics. Tech Wash is a highly effective cleaner. Additionally, it will revitalise existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and revive breathability. It's 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.
