  2. Place maximum of 2 clean garments in washing machine.
  3. Use 2 full caps (100ml) per garment.
  4. Run 40° synthetic cycle and slow spin.

Do not machine wash garments if taped seams have become dislodged.*

Hand Wash (use gloves):

  1. Immerse clean item(s) in hand-hot water in sink or bowl.
  2. Add 2 full caps (100ml) per garment.
  3. Agitate to mix, leave to soak for 5-10 minutes, then agitate thoroughly.
  4. Rinse with cold water until water runs clear.

Drying: Dry according to garment care label. To maintain waterproofing always wash with Nikwax® Tech Wash®. Do not use detergents. *Faulty taped seams sometimes become detached on old or worn garments. They can be re-stuck using a proprietary clear glue after waterproofing and drying.



When to use this product

Always apply this product to new or used soft shell clothing to keep items in perfect water-repellent condition. Remember to clean gear first with Nikwax Tech Wash before applying Nikwax SoftShell Proof (you don’t have to wait for items to dry between cleaning and proofing).
