NikWax Tech Wash
The No.1 easy-to-use, safe, high-performance cleaner for your Arctic Sammy Raincoat. Cleans effectively, reviving breathability and water repellency after your dog had some fun in the mud! Of course you can use this detergent for your human gear as well so both your waterproof garments remain fresh and clean, ready for your next adventure!
Nikwax Tech Wash will revitalise existing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and revive breathability. It is the safe way to thoroughly clean your waterproof clothing and equipment. Application in a washing machine is quick, easy, and ensures that the whole garment is thoroughly cleaned. Why not use regular detergent?
Nikwax Tech Wash® is a safe, soap-based cleaner for technical performance outerwear. Your personal waterproof clothing as well as your dog's raincoat could be soaking up water because the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) has been compromised by dirt, or because it has been cleaned with a conventional laundry detergent. Dirt attracts water and household detergents leave water attracting (hydrophilic) residues, leading to fabric 'wetting out' in wet or damp conditions. If your waterproof clothing or equipment is relatively new, or recently treated with a Nikwax waterproofer, then cleaning with Nikwax Tech Wash® will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt and residues left behind by household detergents, but also revitalise DWR.
