I have used this product for a number of years. Waterproof breathable garments lose their ability to shed water after a period of time and need cleaning and reproofing. Ordinary detergents are too harsh and will strip the water repellent properties from the garment. Tech Wash is a more gentle cleaner which also revitalises the water repellent properties of the fabric. 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! Particularly dirty areas should be treated with neat Tech Wash and a sponge or a soft nylon brush before washing. Relatively new garments or those recently waterproofed will have their water repellent properties renewed by Tech Wash alone. Use TxDirect to renew waterproofing on garments that have not been re-proofed for some time. Simply machine wash one or two garments at a time with the appropriate quantity of Tech Wash (100 ml for soft water areas, 150 ml if you have medium or hard water) following the garment care label instructions. If you need to reproof, follow this with another washing cycle using the same quantities of TxDIrect. This will also lubricate zips on the garment, an added bonus! Available in 300 ml and 1 L bottles, the larger sizes are much more economical. Expensive? yes, compared to ordinary detergents, but not if you want your waterproof clothes to continue to keep you dry!Read full review

Modern Waterproof jackets and clothing need to be washed correctly and retreated when the waterproofness starts to fail. This is easily done using either Nikwax Tech Wash or Nixwax TX Direct as appropriate. A great product which I thoroughly recommend.

Simple and efficient way to reproof your clothing. I use it for my motorbike textile clothing and have had excellent results. Just make sure all traces of normal detergent are removed from the washing machine before using Nikwax. I find running a cycle with an empty machine is the easiest option

This is great stuff for reproofing most waterproof clothing. I’ve used it on Gore Tex, Event, Paramor & everything in between with great results. If the item of clothing is very dirty wash it first as normal before using the Tech Wash as the Tech Wash won’t cope with heavily soiled kit. Great stuff, easy to use &, usually, a good price on Ebay. Highly recommended.
