Nikwax Tech Wash (300ml)

Regular price $24.99
Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Description

Nikwax Tech Wash is a cleaner for waterproof running jackets, pants, gloves and other technical gear. Normal laundry detergent leaves a residue that attracts water, which is often why a good shell starts to feel wet. Tech Wash cleans out sweat and grime without that residue, bringing back water repellency and breathability.

Which Nikwax to pick? Start here. If a clean doesn't bring the beading back, follow with TX.Direct Wash-In or Spray-On.

Why You'll Love It
  • Often all a wetting-out jacket needs, no reproof required
  • Clears the sweat and grime that build up on running kit
  • Safe for Gore-Tex® and other membranes
  • Works in the machine or a bucket
Technical Features
  • Type: Non-detergent technical cleaner
  • Volume: 300ml
  • Dose: 100 to 150ml per machine load, depending on water hardness; hand wash 100 to 150ml per 1 to 2 items in 7.5L water
  • Suits: Waterproof and windproof clothing including Gore-Tex®, Windstopper® and Nikwax Analogy®, plus synthetic sleeping bags
  • Reproof guide: Nikwax says gear can usually be cleaned 5 to 6 times before it needs reproofing
  • Formula: PFAS free, non-flammable
Perfect For
  • Regular washes of your running shell and rain pants
  • Prepping a jacket before a TX.Direct reproof
  • Windproof layers that have gone grubby after a big season

Less suited to: Trail shoes, which need a gel cleaner and a brush. For that, look at our Nikwax range for footwear care.

Why We Stock It

The most common reason a rain jacket leaks is that it's dirty, not that it's worn out. Tech Wash is the cheap first fix before you think about replacing anything. It's the first step in every Nikwax reproof as well.
