Down Wash Direct

While most downy-endowed creatures are able to preen themselves, that rugged ripstop stands to be a pretty problematic obstacle in the preen-and-clean endeavor. Thankfully, the Nikwax Down Wash Direct makes cleaning your down insulated gear easy as wearing your jacket or snoozing in your sleeping bag. Designed to restore water-repellency, the Down Wash Direct cleans and maintains fill power and insulation without compromising the integrity of your gear.

Backpack Cleaning

I cleaned over 50 Osprey Bags after a full summer of use. This product cleaned the bags well and restored brightness of color. The detergent has a decent smell to it, but would love a bit more if possible. Used the soft shell proof to proof the rain covers. Easy to understand how to use for both beginners and experts. This is a great product! I recommend it to anyone who is active and loves the outdoors.

Great wash, wouldn’t use anything else

Always had a great experience with this wash including dirty puffy coat collars. Always come out clean and ready to dry

Fluffier than when I bought it!

I've used the down wash many times on sleeping bags and coats. I was excited to add the water repelling qualities to my sleeping bag. The wash always leaves my down items looking better than they did before - getting out dirt, grime and sweat. I had an inexpensive quilt without water resistant down that I used this on. The wash worked great, and I think the water resistance went up. I didn't notice it holding on to as much moisture each night, so it felt warmer. Make sure to leave plenty of time for drying -I think I may have short changed my dry time and did end up with a few clumps. I hadn't had that problem before when I dried everything for longer.

I had a gnarly down coat loaded with stains that despately needed some TLC. I sprayed the coat with stain remover and brushed it lightly with a nail brush, before tossing it in the washer with down wash. Wow, it came out gorgeous! So easy. I took my coat from being ready for the donation bin to looking nearly brand new!
