Direct spray-on to a wet garment. Our products are water-based, so the waterproofing goes where the water goes. Simply clean first with Tech Wash, then apply the spray-on while the jacket is still wet. Hi Alan! Usually you can clean with Tech Wash times before needing to re-apply TX. Direct waterproofing.
Great question! You would still want to clean the jacket with Tech Wash first, and then use the Softshell Proof. As always, follow the care instructions on the garment label and then follow the instructions on the Nikwax bottle. May I spin it at all? Can I dry this in the dryer? How hot? How long? What about all those fabric softener sheets that have been rolling around in there the last few years—surely coating the inside of the dryer drum? Does that fabric softener chemical interfere with water repellency?
Like the jacket in the basement, but not dripping as much. Hey George! They are usually found on the lower inside portion of the jacket, in tag form. Avoid using fabric softeners for technical outerwear, as they attract water and will counteract your waterproofing efforts. You should be alright using a dryer that has had sheets used in it in the past, as long as you avoid putting any sheets directly in with your ski garments. The sheets typically leave residue only on the fabrics tey interact with, not on the steel dryer drum.
Would like to waterproof my EDC bag. Hey Mike! Yes, we make a product called Cotton Proof that should work perfectly for any think cotton canvas bags. Happy to help! They are the punch for correctly cleaning and waterproofing your down-filled items. Do you just add the tech wax to the wash at the beginning of a wash cycle? Hey Donna! Tech Wash is used instead of standard laundry detergent, for washing your synthetic, technical apparel.
You pour the appropriate amount instructions on bottle of Tech Wash into the detergent drawer, and run a laundry load with technical garments, according to the care labels on those specific garments.
Hope that helps! Sincere thanks Christopher. Step 1: Run cycle of Tech Wash, washing according to the garment care label instructions. Step 2: The cycle ends, and with damp jacket still sitting in machine, add TX. Direct into the detergent drawer, just as you did with the Tech Wash, and run a 2nd cycle. Step 3: When TX. Direct cycle ends, dry according to the garment care label instructions. Should I rub in some Tech Wash to these areas before putting the jacket into the machine, or should these patches of grey come out in the ordinary wash cycle?
You can certainly spot-clean those trouble areas, using a toothbrush or similar tool, and Tech Wash, slightly diluted with water. Probably only need just a tad bit of Tech Wash, to start. After spot-cleaning, a regular wash should clean it up! After using the Tech Wash and the TX Direct in a wash cycle, should the garments be sent through a rinse cycle or just allowed to spin and then dry? Please advise. Inherently,there is no need to run a second rinse cycle after washing, though.
STEP 1: Wash with Nikwax Tech Wash after rinsing out any remnant regular detergent residue from the detergent drawer according to the care label instructions. Wash back to back. STEP 3: Dry according to the care label. Some interesting questions on here. Hopefully this is too. Would there be any benefit to be gained by leaving a jacket to soak in a tub of waterproofed for a longer time than it would be in a machine? In a similar vein, if a jacket is soaked in a bucket and then allowed to drip dry, would that result in a better coverage of waterproofer.
Thanks in advance. Hey Andrew! Once the fabric is treated, it is treated. Washing according to the care label and following the on-bottle instructions closely will get you the best performance. Thanks, that makes sense. Thanks again for taking the time. Have I done something wrong? Do you have any advice? This sounds like a great conversation to have with our super helpful Customer Service team!
They love helping with these scenarios! Email them at customer. Direct Wash-in and want to clarify about washing instructions because they do not seem consistent. However, another answer here says to follow the instructions on my garment FIRST, which say machine wash cold.
So do I do machine wash cold? If I had not come to this website how would I have known that? Hey Nate! I have a really long explanation for this, but I will keep it simple: Follow the garment care label first and foremost, and then simply substitute Nikwax in for standard detergent, after cleaning out any detergent residue from the detergent drawer.
You can usually pull it all the way out and go rinse it out in a sink. The bottles are all manufactured in the UK, which is why they often use Celsius, and they are also dual-language French , because we distribute in Canada. In general, the bottle instructions are there to compliment the garment care label instructions, and help with amounts, directions, etc. Hi, can you advise when cleaning and re proofing using Nikwax Tech wash 50ml per garment and TX. Direct wash in ml per garment for Adult items, can i use less product for children and baby items as they are smaller in size?.
Hey Julie! Yes, you can technically use less for those small garments. Even the best waterproofing products will only work properly if they are used properly, and that means ensuring that you select the best product for the job at hand.
The Nikwax range is extensive and includes specially formulated products for washing your garments to get them clean before you waterproof them. The first step towards using Nikwax effectively is to select the correct product for the job.
The products in the Nikwax range have been split into three main categories. They have water proofing solutions for garments, equipment and footwear. Each of these categories contain a number of different alternative solutions so before you buy anything it is important to select the best one based on what you are looking to re-proof and of course what is it actually made of.
For example, they have footwear proofing products that are suitable for fabric and leather footwear and another for suede and nubuck. Once you have selected the correct product you will probably want to know how often should you use Nikwax? The answer to this question will again vary from one item to another.
For example, if you spend a lot of time walking in muddy wet conditions then you may need to reproof your walking footwear on a regular basis in order to prevent your feet getting too wet. A tent on the other hand is unlikely to need re-proofing as much. What is Nikwax Tech Wash? This is a product that has been specially formulated by Nikwax for washing your waterproof garments before you re-proof them. Whilst standard washing detergents are good for getting your clothes clean, the harsh components of this type of product can compromise the waterproof qualities of your outdoor garments and should not be used.
It can be used in the detergent drawer or directly in the drum using a special dispenser. Check the instructions on the bottle to see how much Nikwax Tech Wash to use as this will depend on whether you have hard or soft water. You should only wash two items at a time using Tech Wash.
Once you have washed your items you can re-proof them. A spray is a very easy way to reproof your clothes and the Nikwak TX Direct spray is ideal. It can be used once you have washed your garments in Tech Wash and there is no need to wait for them to dry first. Read the instructions on how to apply Nikwax spray before you start. There are a couple of things that you should remember to do first.
Close the garment properly and lay it out flat carefully, then hold the spray the appropriate distance from the garment before adding a thin even layer of the spray.
It is important to follow all the steps properly to help prolong the life of the garment.
