FAQ's
Do I really need to clean before waterproofing?
Yes. We strongly recommend using Nikwax Tech Wash or one of our other cleaners as a pre-wash to remove dirt and any detergent residues as they can prevent the waterproofing from securely bonding to the fabric fibers. This helps maximize the performance and durability of waterproofing treatments. The last thing you want to do is waterproof over dirt!
What should I do if taped seams are showing wear or coming apart?
It is advisable to inspect the seam tape if it is accessible. If you notice loose tape seams we would recommend that it be professionally re-taped, cleaned and reproofed by the garment’s manufacturer. Or you can glue them carefully with a clear glue such as Bostick and then clean in a gentle hand wash using Nikwax Tech Wash followed by a hand wash application of TX.Direct wash-in or spray-on. Air drying will revitalize the garment.
What should I do if my jacket or gear is leaking?
Many people think their jacket or gear is leaking when the problem is often caused by perspiration condensing because the jacket isn’t breathing properly. This may be because the DWR finish has worn off or is masked by dirt, which can cause the fabric to ‘wet out’.
Nikwax recommends you clean with Tech Wash and then use the appropriate waterproofing products to replenish the water repellency to get maximum performance from your gear. With Nikwax there’s no need to tumble dry to activate the water-repellency.
Is it safe to machine wash my down jacket?
Most down and insulated jackets are machine washable but always read the care label first! Nikwax recommends the use of machine washing with its products to provide fast, effective and even application when possible.
Will Nikwax products damage my washing machine?
No. Nikwax products have been tested by leading manufacturers and no harm or damage has ever been caused to washing machines or their components. Nikwax is safe for septic tanks and other drainage systems.
What is a "capful"?
Our scalloped caps on all our cleaning and waterproofing products for use in washing machines contain exactly 50ml when filled to the brim. They make a handy way to does out your Nikwax products!
