The complete care system for thoroughly cleaning, enhancing water repellency, and revitalising the breathability of wet weather clothing. Nikwax Tech Wash® will revitalise the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) preventing water absorption, maintaining breathability and keeping you dry and comfortable.

The Nikwax Tech Wash is a non-detergent soap-based cleaner that can be used regularly to clean clothing and equipment without damaging the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) coatings. If your garment loses this finish it will soak up water – which in turn will restrict the breathable performance of membranes like GORE-TEX® or eVent®.

However as it is a gentle detergent it does struggle to completely remove ground in dirt, so don't leave it too long before you wash!

Nikwax Tech Wash / Tx Direct Wash In (Twin Pack) is everything you need to safely clean and add water repellency to wet weather clothing and equipment (without wicking/absorbent liners). Use Nikwax Tech Wash to clean it, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalised just from cleaning.e animal hair's, odors from smoke or fragrances, or any sign that goods have been used other than inspecting indoors.

The Mini comes in a twin pack containing 1 x 150 ml Tech Wash and 1 x 100 ml TX Direct, the 300 ml twin pack comes with 1 x Tech Wash 300 ml and 1 x TX Direct 300 ml and the 1 L twin pack comes with 1 x Tech Wash 1 L and 1 x TX Direct 1 L.

The TX Direct Wash-In adds and renews water repellency, revives breathability and prolongs the life of all waterproof clothing. A Waterproof textile can lose 75% of its breathabilty if it no longer beads water and it 'wets out'. Direct enhances the water repellency of your gear and revives its breathability, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable.Unlike conventional detergents, it does not leave behind water attractive residues which encourage 'wetting-out'. Instructions for use: Tech Wash can be applied undiluted to stubborn stains before washing with sponge or brush. I even added to my insulated Carhartt bibs and the water just beads right off like my waterproof gear.
