## Description

Nikwax Tech Wash is a safe, soap-based cleaner for technical performance outerwear.

Review: My husband and I both ride, and logging miles in SoCal adds lots of crud to our jackets. I bought this to wash our Rev'it Airwave2 and GT-R Air2 jackets in, a lot of white textile which had now become pretty dingy grey. Because I foresee lots of washings, I bought the liter bottle for economy. I hand washed each jacket separately in a plastic tub, so I figured to use less Nikwax. I also used a toothbrush (dipped directly into the bottle) to scrub the really soiled areas, giving it a good amount of work. Needless to say, I was extremely pleased with the final appearance, the road grime and exhaust soil washed out excellently, and our jackets were returned to their original white condition. I decided to do my husband's work commute jacket, a darker Cortech model, but still with white patterns and very soiled. I employed the same effort, soaking the jacket, and using the toothbrush to scrub the white and red regions. I took the photo shortly after I began working on the jacket, it shows the jacket after it had soaked a few minutes, and I had just started using the toothbrush. The brightness really began to return to the white, and the red piping and slashes also brightened up after some scrubbing. The wash tub water was really ugly and dark with all the removed grime. I used a separate plastic tub for the rinsing, three good dunks and swishing to get out as much residue as possible, and then a final hose off and hanging it up outside to air dry. I/we are very pleased with the results, and can recommend the Nikwax for motorcycle clothing, as that was our use. We obtained excellent results, had no issues with any odors afterwards, and it rinsed out cleanly. We have worn the jackets since, with no issues. Well worth the cost and effort to protect the investment we have made in quality riding gear.
Review: Great stuff

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this work well to remove the smell of forest fire smoke from synthetic sleeping bags?**
A: Yes. I used it for my coat and sleeping bag after working a backcountry trail crew all summer. Removed the stains and most of the smells. I used a little bit of white vinegar for the rest.

**Q: How long does the product itself last? Is it shelf stable for a few years? Or does it degrade and not clean well after being opened for a year?**
A: it is shelf stable for a year . I have used it after its been open for a while and it cleans just as well.

**Q: Does this product contain UV brightners?**
A: Definitely NOT! There is a potential for problems if you wear clothes impregnated with optical brighteners in natural sunlight. You should definitely avoid UV brighteners. NikWax is the best product that you can use for your outdoor wear. It will keep your active wear looking and performing like new. No, I don't work for NikWax:} I'm a skier with a lot of pants and jackets. Kjus, a manufacturer of luxury ski wear, actually recommends NikWax on their site for care. I've been using NikWax products for years and it has kept everything perfect and won't strip the clothing of its protective coating. I use more than just the Techwash too. I use their down wash product and also some of their leather waterproofing and cleaning products on my gloves and footwear.

**Q: Would this be a good choice for getting the smell of forest fire smoke out of synthetic sleeping bags?**
A: I thank it will work. Used it to clean motorcycle riding gear and it gave good results.

I tested it on a normal nylon bag. The bag was not water resistant at all from the start. The first time I washed the bag then applied TX Direct Spray, the fabric became slightly water resistant. I figured it could be improved. I washed it more deeply and rinsed it much better, then applied the TX Direct again. The second time the water beading is much better. It does work, just wash well and rinse thoroughly, then spray, wipe excess and you'll be good.
