Nikwax TX Direct Wash-In Waterproofing for Wet Weather Clothing

I used it on some jeans to prepare for a trip to Iceland as I knew it would be very snowy while there.Super easy to use and worked as intended! No soggy, heavy jeans!

Waterproof clothing needs re-proofing if you wear it a lot, e.g. every day this July thanks to the UK’s glorious Indian summer. I’d already re-proofed my dog handling jacket and trousers. After getting soaked through in a downpour wearing a ‘rain resistant’ synthetic down jacket, I decided to try the Nikwax Direct on it. In the machine I first washed the jacket using a liquid soap solution (the sort used for tents), short spin, then added the Nikwax and washed on 30C. Worked a treat! Wore it for an hour in heavy rain walking the dogs and was bone dry. It’s expensive for the amount you get but it does work.

The manufacturers claim you need 150ml of solution in the washing machine to wash with this. Yet two capfuls suffice in most online demos? Which is it? There is a huge difference!

I have a waterproof warm Goretex jacket I use for walking the dog in winter, and it had got filthy with mud as they do! The jacket was machine washable, so after a lot of advice from Auntie Google I machine-washed it and another waterproof jacket with a regular detergent to get them clean, then hand-rinsed them to get all the detergent out. I then put them through the machine twice with the Nikwax TX Direct (doubling up to compensate for using detergent to get it clean) and let them drip-dry. With some scepticism I tested waterproof-ness (is that a word?) using the 'shower' setting on the garden hose. Both jackets are as waterproof as they were when new! So I'm delighted and will definitely use again.

Very good product

Waterproofing

What can I say it's easy to use you just add a couple of cap fulls into the wash and job done, just need to get caught out in the rain then we'll see if it's actually worked or not. I'll update my review once I know what the results are.

This was the first product that came up on a search for request; the review and price looked great and delivery was next day - Perfect! Product simply went into the washing machine with the coat. Instructions were easy to follow. Would thoroughly recommend it. My coat was washed yesterday and all the residual mud has gone, stains have vanished and I have every confidence that the waterproofing will be as good as it was.

Le produit est assez efficace, je le connais depuis longtemps, mais le prix est abusé pour a peine 250ml, le soucis avec cette marque c'est que c'est pas clair il y a pleins de produits différents et on ne sait jamais lequel prendre

He probado en la lavadora el producto en el traje de cordura de la moto. Me ha sorprendido gratamente el resultado final. Vertí un poco de agua en el pantalón sin el producto e inmediatamente se absorbió, pero al hacer lo mismo ya con el producto, la cordura repelía el agua y fluía sin absorberse. Esperemos que haga el mismo efecto en días que pueda llover.

Noodzakelijk voor het opfrissen, vernieuwen en wassen van sportkleding.Goede prijs!
