NIKWAX Buy Down Wash Direct (300ml)

Down products are very quickly sweated through in damp and wet conditions and become wet from the inside. Therefore, it is important to protect down products from moisture with the right water repellent impregnation (the so-called DWR). The care of the outer material as well as the inner lining of a down jacket is therefore just as important as the care of the down filling itself. Nikwax Down Wash Direct refreshes the natural properties of the down and restores the water-repellent impregnation (DWR). Nikwax Down Wash Direct is specially formulated for down-filled products to optimize their natural properties. Nikwax Down Wash Direct is a highly effective detergent that removes body grease and dirt from both the fabric and the down filling. It also refreshes the existing durable water repellent (DWR) impregnation of the outer fabric as well as the down. This protects against rain and condensation to prevent the item from getting soaked. At the same time, the natural insulating properties of the down are preserved. In addition, Down Wash Direct refreshes breathability, allowing perspiration to escape from the interior of the jacket and thus optimizing thermal performance of the down filling in cold and damp weather. Nikwax Down Wash Direct extends the life of your down gear and is the fast, easy and safe way to thoroughly clean down jackets and gear at home in the washing machine.
