Description
TX DIRECT WASH-IN is Nikwax's number 1 waterproofer, easy to use, safe and effective
TX DIRECT WASH-IN arrives when our waterproof garments start to let water pass through and gives them back the DWR finish!
The external DWR (Durable Water Repellant) treatment of technical garments which guarantees their waterproofness tends to fade with wear of the garment.
When this happens, the garment begins to feel damp and loses up to 70% of its breathability.
TX DIRECT WASH-IN revitalizes the DWR of the garments, preventing the absorption of water and thus allows the breathability of technical bees such as shells and jackets to be kept intact at the same time.
Garments can lose their waterproofness due to wear or poor maintenance (for example, traditional detergents damage the waterproofness and breathability of technical fabrics due to the hydrophilic residues they release on the garments).
If even after washing with the specific Nikwax Tech Wash detergent, the water repellency does not reaffirm itself on the garment, then it is time to switch to TX DIRECT WASH-IN
Shells, trousers, jackets that have lost their waterproofness (and breathability!) can have a new life thanks to Nikwax products.
So, after cleaning them with Nikwax Tech Wash® , take your still wet technical garments and put them back in the washing machine for treatment with TX DIRECT WASH-IN.
Machine application ensures that the treatment passes through the garment, treating seams, tapes and cords, as well as the fabric.
The highly durable water repellency then develops during its air drying (no tumble dryers!).
Nikwax TX Direct® Wash-In was specifically designed and optimized for breathable waterproof clothing.
It has a flexible water-repellent effect on individual fibers which allows water vapor to pass through the fabric, maintaining breathability.
Regularly cleaning and treating technical sportswear with these products will improve their performance over time.
How to use Nikwax TX Direct® Wash-In Waterproofer in the washing machine:
PLEASE NOTE: For best results remove non-washable parts and always clean first with Nikwax Tech Wash® in a separate wash cycle. You can proceed with waterproofing directly on the still wet garment.
- Remove all detergent residues from the washing machine drawer.
- Place the clean items in the washing machine (max 2 pieces).
- Use 100ml per garment.
- 30° wash cycle with gentle spin
Do not machine wash if the seam taping is worn.
In the washing machine it ensures better coverage across the entire garment, including small details around the zips, pocket interiors and mesh linings.
How to use Nikwax TX Direct® Wash-In Waterproofer for a hand application:
- Use gloves
- Immerse clean clothing in a basin of warm water.
- Add 50ml of TX.Direct®.
- Shake and let rest for 5-10 minutes. Shake again.
- Rinse thoroughly in cold water.
Dry outdoors or in the dryer on low if label instructions allow.
