Review: This stuff works! - This stuff works brilliantly if you follow the instructions! I didn't know what the outcome would be but I decided to try this stuff to clean and reproof and old favourite jacket of mine. And I have to say it worked very well. I added a little extra of the reproofing solution and dried my jacket at room temperature. The fact this product was advertised as not requiring heat treatment was what attracted me to it and it worked for me on that basis I simply hung it on the washing line for a day and it was great. I tested it with the hose on setting that would replicate moderate-heavy rain fall and the water ran off it. I intend to purchase this again and I highly recommend it.
Review: Works wonders in restoring the waterproofing back to your jackets - My partner and I both own North Face Tri-Climate jackets which have served their purpose really well in the British weather but have started to lose their waterproofing after about 12 months. You know that it's lost its waterproofing when it starts raining and, although you feel dry, when you take the jacket off you realise that your shoulders are completely drenched - even through the fleece liner! Like a lot of outdoor clothes wear the North Face jackets aren't cheap so having lost their waterproofing so quickly is a little disheartening and I didn't really want to have buy new ones already. After a quick search around I discovered Nikwax products which claim to not only safely clean the jackets but also add water repellancy back to them. I thought that for £10 for a twin pack of Tech Wash and TX.Direct I really didn't have anything to lose and thought it was worth a shot. I found both products very easy to use and had no problems with either of them. It clearly states to clean out the soap drawer on your washing machine before using. This makes sense as washing detergent is likely to react with the Nikwax products and prevent them working to their full potential. Obviously this isn't relevant if you decide to hand wash them. We don't actually use the soap drawer on our washing machine for normal washing and instead put our washing detergent in the moulded cup that comes with our washing detergent so felt confident we could use the drawer with no issues. After washing the jackets we hung them outside on a fairly windy day and they were dry in no time. After drying I tested the water repellency by splashing some water on them and it beaded up and rolled off, so seems to have done the trick! It wasn't long before I had the opportunity to test it out for real on a rainy day and the jacket behaves like new again. One thing I did notice after washing the jackets was an odd smell. It turns out this is the TX.Direct which smells very similar to PVA glue. Thankfully this smell dissipated after a couple of days but you might want to air the jackets outside for a bit longer if the smell bothers you. If you are in a hard water area you will need to use 50% more of the Tech Wash product so you may find this will run out quicker than the TX.Direct bottle. Overall I'm really impressed with these Nikwax products which have breathed new life into our jackets.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I machine wash my jacket?**
A: Most waterproof breathable jackets are machine washable but always read the care label first. Nikwax supports the use of machine washing with its wash in products to provide fast, effective and even application.

**Q: How often do I need to treat a garment or item of gear with Nikwax Proofing Products?**
A: For light use, reproof once a year and for heavier use, reproof 2-3 times a year. If your item is wetting out, you may need to reproof more frequently.

**Q: What are the advantages to using Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In instead of TX.Direct Spray-On?**
A: Using TX.Direct Wash-in means the clothing will be evenly coated and the proofer will reach hard to get to places. Using Spray-on can be useful as you can target specific areas of the jacket that need waterproofing anytime, anywhere.
