Nikwax TECH WASH and TX DIRECT Twin Pack, Technical Cleaner and Wash-In Waterproofer for Waterproof Clothing, 2x 300ml

Product Information

I’ve subjected these to a bit more spot cleaning and used the reproofing spray to save putting the whole jacket through the machine again. When used it can revitalise the breathability and water repellency of any much-used and loved waterproof jacket or pant. The effectiveness of any re-proofing product is dependent on how clean your garment is in the first place.

But he is allowed to use a few capfuls of the washing and waterproofing solutions any time he wants. NikWash Tech Wash is a hydrophobic (water repellent) cleaner which cleans your garment without leaving such a residue. Once the garment has been washed, you’ll need to tumble dry it or (lightly) iron it to activate the waterproofing. Will it be good enough to perform on my wet and dirty waterproofs and make it one of our best waterproof treatments for cycling jackets.Dosing, and therefore the cost per treatment, varies on the hardness of your water and how many re-washes you need per reproofing.

Instead the waterproofing solution actually revitalised the jacket and trousers to the extent that the mud, splashes and rain just beaded on the surface of the clothes and ran off. It’s really straightforward to use, you just need to measure out the correct dose and put your washing machine back on once the first cycle with the Tech Wash is done. All you have to do is fill two caps full of the liquid, pop it in the washing machine with the garment and hit start on a full cycle as you would with regular detergent. It's a fact you don't want to hear, but even the best waterproof cycling jackets and the best waterproof cycling trousers will begin to work less effectively over time. Right up next we have the best reproofing agents that we've tried and tested here at Cycling Weekly.Other brands to look out for include Fibertec from Germany and Decathlon’s Forclaz, while some clothing brands like Endura and Assos sell their own care products. Frequency of re-proofing is going to be dependent on how much you wear your jacket and how mucky it gets.
