Here's what customers have to say
The product effectively cleans and restores the water-repellent properties of technical outdoor gear, such as waterproof jackets and pants. Many users report that their older, worn-out gear performed like new after using the product. It is described as easy to use with simple instructions, and the long-term value of preserving the performance and waterproofing of outdoor gear is seen as worth the investment, despite the higher price compared to regular laundry detergent.

Best way to wash outdoor clothes
From my softshell pants to my hiking t shirts to my shell jackets before I re-waterproof them, the Tech Wash by Nikwax is the best. Takes away any odors, can be used in small amounts undiluted to treat stains, and cleans out the pores of my shell gear making it ready to be re-waterproofed, the Tech Wash does it all. If you go outside as often as I do, it just makes sense to buy the big bottle and always have it on hand after an adventure. Super easy to use at home or at a Laundromat if traveling, with instructions on the bottle for both front-loading and top-loading machines!

This with Dawn got out a oil stain, loving this stuff
I just bought RAB jacket and was doing some things out side, and must have gotten oil on it from somewhere. I rubbed in some dawn, and use the Tech Wash and it got it out. This stuff does not smell the best, but it does the trick.

Great product!
Ive used this on my patagonia nanopuff and on a sleeping bag, great for both. However, if you dont have a washing machine that can do an extra rinse you might be left with some residual residue at the end, but it rubs off with usage and then looks perfect and works great!

Soft and Hard Shell Jackets
I have used this on both soft and hard shell jackets, both with and without waterproofing (gore tex, mostly) and it really does a nice job of cleaning the jacket without being too harsh or leaving any residue. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to prolong the life of their outerwear. Not sure about the environmental impact, but it would be nice if there was a biodegradable option.

I use it to wash goretex and softshell gear. Works great and doesn't have a strong detergent scent
