How do I use the Nikwax Tech Wash and TX.Direct Wash-In?

First, use Nikwax Tech Wash to clean your technical outerwear, removing dirt and residues. Then, use TX.Direct Wash-In in the same wash cycle to restore water repellency and breathability. Use one full cap (approx. 50ml) per wash. Follow your washing machine's instructions for care.

Why choose this product

Advanced Cleaning and Waterproofing Science

Nikwax products utilize water-based, PFAS-free formulations designed for optimal performance on technical fabrics. Unlike harsh household detergents that can leave damaging residues and attract water, Nikwax Tech Wash gently cleans without compromising the fabric's natural breathability or its DWR finish. The subsequent TX.Direct Wash-In treatment then actively restores the waterproof barrier, ensuring your outerwear remains effective against moisture. This two-step process is crucial for maintaining the integrity and function of high-performance gear, keeping you dry and comfortable in diverse weather conditions. This imported kit offers a superior solution compared to generic cleaners.

Ideal for Indian Climates, Who Should Skip

This duo-pack is perfect for anyone with waterproof-breathable outerwear used in India's varied climate, from humid monsoons to cooler mountain regions. It's essential for hikers, trekkers, skiers, and outdoor enthusiasts who rely on their gear staying dry. Consider this kit if your jackets, rain pants, or sleeping bags are losing their water repellency. Skip if you only own non-waterproof items or if you prefer disposable wipes for quick spot cleaning. Those with extreme sensitivities to cleaning agents should perform a patch test first, though Nikwax is generally mild.

How to use

Ensure all pockets are empty and zippers/fastenings are closed. Check the garment's care label for specific washing instructions. Use one full cap (approx. 50ml) of Nikwax Tech Wash for cleaning. — Prepare for Washing
Add the recommended amount of Nikwax Tech Wash to the detergent drawer of your washing machine. Wash the garment according to the care label, typically on a warm cycle. This step removes dirt and residues. — Clean with Tech Wash
Without drying the garment, add one full cap (approx. 50ml) of Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In to the detergent drawer. Wash again on a gentle cycle, following the care label. This restores water repellency and breathability. — Waterproof with TX.Direct
Tumble dry the garment on a low setting or air dry. This helps to activate and cure the waterproofing treatment. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents on subsequent washes. — Dry and Maintain
