Description

Nikwax Down Wash Direct is a game-changer for anyone passionate about the outdoors, especially during the Australian winter seasons. This 1L cleaner is specifically designed for down clothing and sleeping bags, ensuring your gear maintains its warmth, loft, and water repellency. It's a must-have for those who understand the importance of gear maintenance in keeping warm and comfortable in the chilly backcountry or on the slopes.

Down items are incredibly effective at trapping warm air close to your body, but they do require proper care. Contaminants can compromise the down's ability to insulate by attracting water and causing compression. This leads to a loss of loft and breathability, which can leave you feeling cold and damp after exertion. Nikwax Down Wash Direct addresses this by cleaning, restoring, and maintaining the performance of your down gear. It's an essential step in ensuring your high-quality down jackets and sleeping bags continue to serve you as reliable companions in the wild.

How to Use

  • Remove all detergent build-up from the detergent dispenser.
  • Place a maximum of 2 items in the washing machine.
  • Add 100 ml.
  • Wash according to care label, preferably on low setting and slow spin.
  • After the washing cycle has finished run multiple spin cycles, each time incrementally increasing the spin speed, to remove excess water.
  • If you are continuing on to waterproof your jacket using Down Proof, do this now
  • Dry using a tumble dryer on low heat with a few clean tennis balls. These help break up the clumps of down
  • Incrementally pull your garment out and manually pull apart down clumps to speed up the drying process

With Nikwax Down Wash Direct, you're not just cleaning your gear; you're investing in its longevity and performance. It's the kind of care that every adventurer's down gear deserves, ensuring you stay warm, dry, and comfortable, no matter where your adventures take you in Australia or beyond.
