It removes dirt and detergent residues while helping to restore the fabric's existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and revive breathability, helping your clothing perform as it should in wet weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike conventional laundry detergents, which can leave behind water-attracting residues, Nikwax Tech Wash is designed specifically for technical fabrics. Regular cleaning can help prevent the outer fabric from becoming saturated, often referred to as \"wetting out\", which can significantly reduce breathability and leave clothing feeling damp or clammy inside. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpecialist cleaner for waterproof and technical outdoor clothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps restore existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRevives fabric breathability for improved comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEffectively removes dirt and detergent residues\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for waterproof, windproof and fleece garments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for synthetic sleeping bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecommended for Gore-Tex®, Windstopper® and Nikwax Analogy® fabrics\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be used in a washing machine or for hand washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePFAS free and non-flammable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Use Nikwax Tech Wash?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDirt and conventional washing detergents can interfere with the water-repellent finish on technical clothing. When the outer fabric starts absorbing water, breathability can be reduced and moisture vapour becomes less able to escape from inside the garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNikwax Tech Wash cleans away these contaminants while revitalising the garment's existing water-repellent treatment. This helps water bead on the surface rather than soaking into the outer fabric, supporting both waterproof performance and breathability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWaterproof jackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWaterproof trousers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutdoor gloves\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWindproof clothing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFleece garments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSynthetic sleeping bags\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBreathable waterproof fabrics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use Nikwax Tech Wash in a Washing Machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShake the bottle thoroughly before use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRemove any detergent build-up from the washing machine detergent dispenser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlace a maximum of two garments in the washing machine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse 150ml in medium or hard water areas, or 100ml in soft water areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWash on a 30°C synthetic cycle using a slow spin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor stubborn marks, undiluted Tech Wash can be applied directly to the affected area before washing.

Nikwax advises that regularly maintained garments may typically be cleaned around five or six times before additional waterproofing is required. If water no longer beads on the fabric after cleaning, it may be time to apply a suitable Nikwax waterproofing treatment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNikwax Tech Wash is an ideal choice for maintaining waterproof jackets, riding coats and other technical outdoor clothing, helping keep your kit clean, breathable and performing effectively in wet conditions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Nikwax","offers":[{"title":"5 Litre","offer_id":54917512823160,"sku":"TRI-NKW0072","price":28.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/3169\/6226\/files\/Nikwax-Tech-Wash_-Online-For-Equine-14194062.jpg?v=1764968328","url":"https:\/\/www.onlineforequine.co.uk\/products\/nikwax-tech-wash-bulk-buy-5-litre","provider":"Online For Equine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
