The No.1 easy to use, safe, high performance waterproofer for wet weather clothing and equipment. Adds Durable Water Repellency and revives breathability - in a washing machine. 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. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax TX.Direct®. Your raingear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Tech Wash®, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalised just from cleaning.  But, once the garment has been thoroughly worn, you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax TX.Direct®, after cleaning first with Nikwax Tech Wash®. For best results remove all non-washable parts and always clean item(s) first with Nikwax Tech Wash® in a separate wash cycle. No need to dry item(s) before waterproofing. Remove all detergent build up from the detergent dispenser. Place maximum of 2 clean garments in washing machine. Use 100ml per garment. Run 30°C synthetic cycle and slow spin. Do not machine-wash garments if taped seams have become dislodged.*To maintain waterproofing always wash with Nikwax Tech Wash®. Do not use detergents.
