Maintains loft and insulating properties of down filled items - Recommended for use on jackets, gear and bedding with down-fill, down blends, or water resistant down (such as Nikwax Hydrophobic Down) - Nikwax products are PFAS-free, water based, non-persistent, and contain no optical brighteners or added scent; machine wash safe - One full cap of product is approximately 50ml. ## Why choose this product - Specialized Care for Down Gear — Nikwax Down Wash is engineered specifically for down-filled items, a critical distinction from general laundry detergents. Household cleaners can strip natural oils from down, leaving it clumpy and less effective at trapping heat. This specialty formula cleans without damaging the down's structure or leaving behind residues that attract moisture. It actively works to restore the down's natural loft and loft-trapping ability, ensuring your jackets and sleeping bags provide maximum warmth and comfort. By preserving the down's integrity, it extends the lifespan of your valuable outdoor gear, making it a wise investment for any adventurer. - Who Should Use It & Who Should Skip — This product is ideal for anyone with down-filled jackets, sleeping bags, vests, or bedding who wants to maintain peak performance and longevity. If you engage in outdoor activities, travel to cooler regions, or simply want to ensure your insulated gear provides optimal warmth, Nikwax Down Wash is for you. Skip this product if your items are filled with synthetic insulation or if you are looking for a general-purpose laundry detergent for everyday clothing. For synthetic fills, a different Nikwax product is recommended. ## How to use 1. Ensure your washing machine is clean and free of residual detergents or fabric softeners. Add one full cap (approximately 50ml) of Nikwax Down Wash directly into the main detergent compartment. — Prepare Washing Machine 2.
