"Great wash soap for technical fabrics. Did two walking coats at the same time before re-waterproofing with the Nikwax wash-in stuff. Both together have done an excellent job. Good value for money in this large bottle."

Soap is terrible

Cons: Low Quality

"I have had problems re-proofing my jacket after using this stuff. After looking into it, it turns out that soap is an old fashioned way to wash your cloths and does not work in anything but soft water!!! Medium or hard it doesn't work and leaves more rubbish on the jacket than it washes off.

Tried using a proper detergent sports wash (not Daz, Percil etc) and all happy and proofed properly now."

Does the trick nicely

"My cycling waterproofs had never been washed... and were starting to take on body odour. I washed with this, then a second wash with the Nikwax waterproofing. They now smell great and are fully waterproof. It works out very good value too. Highly recommended."

Effective but a bit pricy

Cons: Expensive

"We do lots of trail-running and hiking and other such mud-collecting activities. Non-detergent cleaner is essential for waterproofs and this does the job. seems rather expensive to me, but cheaper than ruining expensive waterproof gear I guess!"

Best product for the task

Pros: easy to use

"Which is to gently wash your costly (or not) foul weather gear, and renew its rain-repelling properties (or at least, make it bead and run off again)."

Great for washing rain jackets

Pros: High Quality

"Ok, not the most obviously essential product in the catalogue, but if you want to reproof your rain jacket you should first wash it with this stuff, before washing with the rainproofing Nikwax product.

Used this many times, and the combination of the two does work - the first ride out after washing, you can see the raindrops running off the coat not soaking in!"

Good but expensive

Cons: Expensive

"This is good for washing waterproof clothing as it stops the waterproofing being washed out. My only complaint is that it doesn't last long as you are only meant to wash 2 garments at a time. I've found soap flakes to be a cheaper alternative."

Effective

"Nikwax Tech Wash works well and empirically appears to do what it says. I use it on Analogy, Gore-Tex & eVent.

There's a 4 year expiry date and it was supplied with all of this remaining, unlike other retails who try to get rid of stock approaching expiry, which has caught me out before."
