Can I machine wash my jacket?

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.

How often do I need to treat a garment or item of gear with Nikwax Proofing Products?

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.

What are the advantages to using Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In instead of TX.Direct Spray-On?

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.
