FAQs
Can I use this with standard laundry detergent?
No, it is recommended to use the Nikwax Cleaning Solution alone, as regular detergents can leave additives that interfere with technical fabric performance.
Is this product safe for GORE-TEX materials?
Yes, it is designed to be safe for use on high-performance membranes, including GORE-TEX, without damaging the waterproof capabilities.
How often should I clean my gear?
Clean your gear when it becomes visibly soiled or when you notice water is no longer beading off the surface.
Can this be used for hand washing?
Yes, the solution can be diluted in a basin of water for hand washing delicate items or larger equipment like backpacks.
Does this solution add water repellency?
This product focuses on cleaning; for added water repellency, a secondary Nikwax treatment product is recommended after the cleaning process.
Troubleshooting

Shake the container vigorously for 30 seconds to ensure proper mixing of the formula.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal results, always verify the care instructions on your gear's label before use. For most garments, utilize a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle, ensuring all soap dispenser compartments are free from regular detergents. Pour the required amount of Nikwax solution into the dispenser or directly into the drum. After cleaning, ensure the gear is rinsed thoroughly. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the chemical stability of the solution.
