Features Care Treat your adventure gear to the market leading cleaner! A technical cleaner for all waterproof gear. Why? In order for waterproof gear to work it needs to be hydrophobic and breathable. Nikwax Tech Wash® revitalizes the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of the garment which prevents water absorption, maintains breathability and keeps your dog dry and comfortable. Dirt attracts water which compromises DWR, which leads to the fabric "wetting out" in damp or wet conditions (and what dog doesn't like to get dirty???) Often your gear just needs to be cleaned of dirt to revitalize DWR, enter Nikwax Tech Wash®! Traditional laundry detergents leave hydrophilic (water attracting) residues so they should be avoided when cleaning waterproof gear. A product that claims to both clean and waterproof is also to be avoided as it can seal in dirt and you don't need to re-waterproof your gear every time you clean it. Regular cleaning will enhance the performance of any waterproof gear. You should be able to clean 5-6 times with Nikwax Tech Wash® before it requires re-waterproofing. When washing alone doesn't revitalize the DWR, it's time to re-waterproof using the appropriate Nikwax waterproof, which for most dog gear is TX.Direct®. How? Nikwax Tech Wash® has been specifically designed and optimized for breathable waterproof fabrics. It is a highly effective cleaner that doesn't leave a hydrophilic (water attracting) residue like traditional cleaners do. It will revitalize existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and revive breathability. It is the safe and environmentally friendly way to thoroughly clean your (and your dogs') waterproof gear. Using in a washing machine is quick, easy, and ensures a good clean.
