  • Our take on the Nikwax Tech Wash

    Nikwax Tech Wash is a liquid cleaner made for waterproof and water-repellent clothing and gear. It is a mild, non-detergent wash that lifts dirt without leaving the residue ordinary detergent leaves behind, which can mask breathability and dull water repellency. It suits hikers, skiers and cyclists washing shells, insulated jackets and softshells. Rivals such as Grangers Performance Wash do the same job; Tech Wash is the best-known and is widely sold in a small flask that covers a few washes.

    Pros
    • Non-detergent formula leaves no residue that clogs breathable fabric
    • Safe on waterproof membranes and durable water-repellent finishes
    • Works in a normal washing machine on a low-heat cycle
    • Also fine for insulated and down-filled items when used as directed
    • Widely available and simple to use
    Cons
    • Does not restore water repellency on its own; a separate proofer is needed
    • Small bottle covers only a few washes
    • Liquid only, so no concentrated or sheet option
    • Some users find ordinary mild soap works nearly as well

    Questions and answers

    Does Tech Wash restore waterproofing?
    No. It cleans the garment and removes residue, but it does not add a durable water-repellent finish. Use a separate proofer such as Nikwax TX.Direct after washing if water no longer beads.
    Can I use it on down jackets?
    Yes, Nikwax lists it as safe for down and synthetic insulation when used as directed. Wash on a gentle cycle and dry thoroughly, following the garment's care label.
    How is it different from regular laundry detergent?
    Regular detergent leaves residues that can clog breathable membranes and attract water. Tech Wash is a mild, non-detergent cleaner designed to rinse clean from technical fabrics.
    How much do I use per wash?
    Follow the bottle directions: a small amount per load, scaled to the number of garments. Using too much wastes product and makes rinsing harder.
    Can I use it in a front-loading machine?
    Yes. It works in both front-loading and top-loading machines on a low-heat cycle. Avoid fabric softener and high heat, which can damage the finish.
