The No.1 easy to use, safe, high performance cleaner for wet weather clothing and equipment.
Do Not Use Normal Soap Powder To Wash Your Waterproofs! USE TECH WASH
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. Nikwax Tech Wash will revitalise the DWR and therefore breathability of your garment
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 Nikwax Tech Wash will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt and residues left behind by household detergents, but also revitalise DWR.

NIKWAX Fabric and Leather Spray On 1 Litre Refill (NO Sprayhead).
Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ is easy and quick to apply; either spray or sponge on to wet boots. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ provides highly Durable Water Repellency (DWR) which develops on air drying. It leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibres of fabric and leather. This allows moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability and keeping your feet dry. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ has been specifically designed and optimised for fabric and leather combination footwear.
Anyone who is active outside in damp or wet conditions will benefit from breathable waterproof footwear. Whether youre a mountaineer, cyclist, dog walker, or you work outside as a farmer or surveyor, you will need good footwear.
When youre active and wearing footwear, your socks draw moisture away from your feet, keeping them dry. However, if your footwear absorbs water and wets out its breathability will be reduced. Moisture vapour will not be able to escape through the material, so your feet will feel clammy and wet. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which prevents water absorption, whilst maintaining breathability, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
Breathable waterproof footwear is most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. If the outer fabric or leather absorbs water, the breathability of the footwear will be reduced. Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your footwear must be maintained to ensure comfort. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™.
Alternative waterproofing products are often solvent-based aerosols; alternatively, they may be water-based and use fluorocarbons. Aerosol products are flammable. Fluorocarbons pose a potential risk to the environment and to the long-term health of the consumer.
Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ is a safe product to use on breathable waterproof combination footwear. It is completely non-flammable, contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is fluorocarbon free. Nikwax Fabric & Leather Proof™ has been specifically designed and optimised for fabric and leather combination footwear, providing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) whilst maintaining breathability. You dont need to wait for your footwear to dry before application.

About DOWN PROOF
Easy to use, safe, high performance wash in waterproofing for down filled clothing and gear. Adds Durable Water Repellency; reducing weight gain, maintaining the insulation and breathability of down filled items in cold and damp conditions.
Nikwax Down Proof has been specifically designed and optimized for down filled gear. It adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which protects against rain and condensation, improving the natural insulating properties of down.
Nikwax Down Proof prolongs the effective life of your down gear. It leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual down filaments and fabric fibers allowing moisture vapor to pass through, maintaining breathability and optimizing performance in cold and damp conditions.
Nikwax Down Proof is a safe, easy to use product for down filled gear. It is quick to apply in a washing machine and ensures that the treatment goes right through the item, treating both the outer fabric and the down fill. The DWR of Nikwax Down Proof develops on air drying. However, tumble drying is recommended to ensure that the down is dried thoroughly and as quickly as possible. Leaving down wet or damp can ruin it completely.
For best results remove all non-washable parts and clean item(s) first with Nikwax Down Wash in a separate wash cycle. No need to dry item(s) before waterproofing. Shake well before use. Follow care label instructions (large items can be treated by hand).
Remove all detergent build up from the detergent dispenser. Place clean item in washing machine (maximum 1 item). Use 150ml for 1 item. Run 30C synthetic cycle and slow spin. After the cycle has finished run multiple spin cycles, each time incrementally increasing the spin speed, to remove excess water. To maintain waterproofing always wash with Nikwax Down Wash. Do not use detergents.
ABOUT DOWN WASH DIRECT
The easy to use, safe, high performance technical cleaner for hydrophobic and regular down filled clothing and gear. The only technical cleaner specifically designed for hydrophobic and regular down which cleans effectively, while restoring water repellency and maintaining fill power and insulation.
Your down items 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 and down 'wetting out' in wet or damp conditions.
If your down items are relatively new, or have been recently treated with Nikwax Down Proof, then cleaning with Nikwax Down Wash Direct will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt and residues left behind by household detergents, but also revitalize insulation and restore DWR.
However, once the gear has been thoroughly used, you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax Down Proof, after cleaning first with Nikwax Down Wash Direct. This will add DWR to the outer fabric of the gear and also the down fill.
Sleeping bags and very large jackets are best hand washed in a bath or equivalent and then spin dried in a washing machine.
Use neat Down Wash Direct to treat stubborn stains before washing. Remove all non-washable parts. Shake well before use. Follow care label instructions. Do not use conventional detergents.
Machine Wash (for down clothing only):
Use a front-loading washing machine only. Remove all detergent build-up from the detergent dispenser. Place maximum 2 items in washing machine. Add 100 ml. Wash according to care label, preferably on low setting and slow spin. After the washing cycle has finished run multiple spin cycles, each time incrementally increasing the spin speed, to remove excess water. (Hand wash sleeping bags or wash in a professional machine).
GENERAL ADVICE
Down filled items are used to provide lightweight insulation to keep you warm. The structure of down allows air to be trapped between its filaments and warmed by body heat to provide insulation for the user.
If down gets wet it clumps together. This causes it to lose loft and insulation as it cant trap air effectively. When wet, down loses all of its insulating properties, as water conducts heat away from the body up to 25 times faster than air. It will also gain weight and its breathability will be significantly reduced; leaving you feeling cold, wet and uncomfortable.
Down filled items are most likely to get sweaty and wet inside when used in damp or wet conditions. Therefore it is important to stop down filled gear from getting wet by applying Durable Water Repellency (DWR). The outer fabric of your down filled item, as well as the down inside, must be maintained to ensure comfort. Through use it will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax Down Proof.
Your down gear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Down Wash DIRECT, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalized just from cleaning. But, once the gear has been thoroughly used, you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax Down Proof, after cleaning first with Nikwax Down Wash. This will add DWR to the outer fabric of the gear and also the down fill.
Nikwax Waterpofing Solutions keep you dry, warm and comfortable in wet conditions and extend the life and performance of your clothing and equipment.

Shoes need love
If you find your perfect shoe after a long time searching, you often think about your first trip in your new boots. But Stop! You should care your boots BEFORE your first use! So it is important to read the care regulations and to spray or wax your shoe before the first use.
Even more importantly is to give your shoes after the use a careful treatment. We humans care for our skin: we protect it from the sun, we clean it and use Moisturizers. Leather is also a skin, it is tanned and thereby conserved in its complete structure and thus in need of similar care.
We advise you, when you buy your shoes, to give a couple of pounds more for cleaners and proofers. Long term you will save time and money, because you have not to think about a new pair as soon. Properly maintained shoes last much longer!
The treatment has three objectives:
Water
All fabrics on the shoe are water repellent from the beginning.This hydrophobization decreases over the time, so it must be renewed.
Clima
Modern shoes are water vapour permeable to guarantee a good foot climate. This function must be preserved.
Material
Shoes mostly consits of leather. This needs regular food for a long life and to retain the form.
CAUTION: Do not warm up the wax! It will otherwise penetrate too deeply and thus impair breathability and wearing comfort. The appearance of the leather will change through the application of wax.
No oils or grease should be applied to the boots because this will cause the boots to lose their strength and stability
