FAQs

How often should I wash my down items?

Wash down items when they appear dirty or lose their loft. Generally, once or twice a season is sufficient, depending on use.

Can I use regular detergent?

No, regular detergents can strip the natural oils from down, reducing its insulating properties and water repellency. Always use a cleaner specifically designed for down, like Nikwax Down Wash Direct.

Can I hand wash with this product?

Yes, you can hand wash. Follow the same principles as machine washing, ensuring thorough rinsing.

What temperature should I wash down items?

Use cold or lukewarm water to prevent damage to the down and the garment.

How do I dry my down items?

Tumble dry on a low setting. Add clean tennis balls to help restore the loft. You can also air dry, but this may take longer.

What size bottle should I buy?

Nikwax Down Wash Direct is available in various sizes (100ml, 300ml, 1L). Choose the size based on how frequently you wash your down items.

Is this product safe for hydrophobic down?

Yes, Nikwax Down Wash Direct is specially formulated for both hydrophobic and regular down.

Troubleshooting

Down garment doesn't seem as puffy after washing.

Ensure the item is completely dry. Tumble dry on a low setting with clean tennis balls to help restore loft.

Water repellency not restored.

Ensure you've followed the washing and drying instructions carefully. Consider re-treating with a down-specific water repellent if necessary.

Detergent residue remains after washing.

Rinse the item again to remove any remaining detergent residue. Ensure you have used the correct amount of Down Wash Direct.
