Nikwax Hardshell Cleaning & Waterproofing Duo-Pack

The Hardshell Duo-Pack provides a comprehensive solution for cleaning and waterproofing various outdoor gear and apparel. The package includes two essential Nikwax products: Tech Wash and TX.Direct Wash-In.

First, PREP the garments by zipping up zippers and emptying pockets. Ensure the detergent drawer is clean and free of any residue before placing the items in the washing machine.

Next, the WASH step involves using Nikwax Tech Wash. Add the appropriate amount of Tech Wash to the washing machine and wash the items according to the care label instructions. It is crucial to avoid using household detergents, as they can compromise the waterproofing treatment.

Once the wash cycle with Tech Wash is complete, proceed to the WATERPROOFING step. Leave the items in the washing machine and shake the TX.Direct Wash-In solution well before adding it to the machine. Run a second wash cycle according to the care label.

It is important to note that Tech Wash and TX.Direct Wash-In should not be combined in the same wash load. They are designed to be used sequentially for optimal results.

Lastly, DRY the items as per the care label instructions, which may involve machine drying or air drying.

The Hardshell Duo-Pack caters to a wide range of outdoor gear and apparel, including:

1. Hardshell Duo-Pack: For cleaning and waterproofing rain gear, ski jackets, and synthetic-filled sleeping bags.
2. Softshell Duo-Pack: For softshell apparel with four-way stretch.
3. Fabric & Leather Duo-Pack: For fabric, leather, or combined fabric and leather footwear.
4. Leather Footwear Duo-Pack: For smooth leather footwear, accessories, and gear.
5. Nubuck & Suede Duo-Pack: For nubuck, suede, or textured leather footwear and accessories.

The Nikwax Tech Wash and TX.Direct Wash-In products are specially formulated to clean and waterproof technical outerwear effectively. They are water-based, PFAS-free, and contain no optical brighteners or added scent, making them machine wash safe.

The Tech Wash safely cleans technical synthetic outerwear without damaging the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment, whereas household detergents can leave behind water-attracting residues.

The TX.Direct Wash-In is a high-performance waterproofer designed to enhance the performance and revitalize the breathability of waterproof clothing, keeping the wearer warmer and drier.

These easy-to-use wash-in solutions clean effectively, restore water repellency, and revive breathability by removing water-attracting residues from the surface.

Nikwax recommends this duo-pack for a wide range of outdoor gear and apparel, including rain and ski jackets, waterproof fabrics, technical clothing, synthetic sleeping bags, and products from brands like GORE-TEX, Patagonia, The North Face, Columbia, Outdoor Research, Cotopaxi, and Arc'teryx.

It is important to note that all items must first be cleaned with Nikwax Tech Wash before waterproofing, as household detergents can leave behind water-attracting residues.

One full cap of the product is approximately 50ml, providing a convenient and reliable solution for maintaining the performance and longevity of your outdoor equipment.
