Many outdoor enthusiasts know the problem: the jacket is waterproof, but inside it feels damp and uncomfortable. The cause is often dirty outer fabric, which absorbs water and drastically reduces breathability. This is precisely where Nikwax Tech Wash\u00ae comes in. Developed specifically for waterproof and breathable fabrics, it cleans deeply without damaging membranes or compromising thermal insulation.<\/p>\n<h4>Why proper cleaning is so important<\/h4>\n<p>Household detergents leave hydrophilic residues that block the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment. As a result, the fabric \u201csoaks up\u201d more quickly and the moisture is no longer able to evaporate to the outside. Nikwax Tech Wash\u00ae removes these residues, prevents water absorption by the outer fabric and restores the garment's original comfort. The garment stays dry for longer, warmer and clearly more comfortable, even with intense physical exertion.<\/p>\n<h4>Versatile and delicate with materials<\/h4>\n<p>Nikwax Tech Wash\u00ae can be used in both the washing machine and hand wash and is suitable for technical materials such as Gore-Tex\u00ae, Windstopper\u00ae, Nikwax Analogy\u00ae and all other waterproof, windproof and fleece fabrics. With regular use, the waterproofing can remain effective for several washes, without the immediate need for reapplication.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainable and safe for people and the environment<\/p>\n<p>Like all Nikwax products, Tech Wash\u00ae is water-based, biodegradable, PFC-free and non-flammable. It contains no aggressive solvents and is safe for clothing, skin and the environment - the right choice for anyone who wants to look after their outdoor equipment in a conscious and sustainable way.<\/p>\n<h2>Nikwax Tech Wash\u00ae highlights<\/h2>\n<p>\ud83e\uddfc Specific detergent for waterproof and breathable outdoor clothing<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udca7 Reactivates water repellent treatment (DWR)<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf2c\ufe0f Maintains and improves breathability<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udde5 Suitable for synthetic jackets, trousers, fleece and sleeping bags<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\uddfa Can be used in the washing machine or by hand<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf31 PFC-free, biodegradable and environmentally friendly<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd25 Non-flammable and gentle on materials<\/p>\n<h3>Technical details - Nikwax Tech Wash\u00ae<\/h3>\n<p>\ud83e\uddf4 Product type: technical detergent for functional clothing<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udca6 Application: machine or hand wash<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\uddea Formula: water-based, without aggressive detergents<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf0d Sustainability: biodegradable, PFC-free<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc55 Area of use: waterproof, windproof and breathable fabrics<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Function: cleaning, reactivating the DWR and maintaining breathability<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Nikwax Tech Wash\u00ae<\/strong> is the benchmark specialised detergent for waterproof and breathable outdoor clothing and equipment.
