Nikwax Tech Wash , Green ,10 fl. oz.

This stuff works like its supposed to.

I was needing to clean two North Face backpacks we have had for 10 years. After some research, this product repeatedly came up as a good solution, so I gave it a shot. I put the backpacks in the tub, barely covered them with water, and added half the bottle of solution. It immediately went to work and with barely any agitation the water showed its results. For some stubborn areas, I used a brush and everything came out easily. The scent helped freshen up everything even further. In the end, these backpacks came out good as new. In fact, my wife changed her mind about wanting to replace her bag. I figure this product would work as intended with all sorts of outdoor gear, especially on hydrophobic rain gear.

I work in stormwater construction and frequently end up more a mud monster than a human. My Helly Hansons often look like they are mud brown instead of blue. Other soaps have either not cleaned the outfits or seemed to reduce the water proof capabilityies- needing recoating. I found this soap did a great job cleaning the gear and may have even improved it waterproof capabilities. I was just bit floored that one bottle is good for one load. Still, lot cheaper than new truly waterproof gear.

I have been using this tec wash for years. It works great at cleaning your tech gear without removing the DWR (durable water repellent) as regular laundry detergent will do with a single wash. If you did wash an item with regular detergent, all is not lost— they make other products for restoring the DWR back onto your product.

Our sleeping bags were used after a bad hurricane came through and were stored afterwards for some time. ONE WASH WAS ALL THEY NEEDED to rid them of the musty smell they had after pulling them out of the storage containers. It was my own mistake, miscalculating the amount needed to clean all of our gear. I was able to use this size for 3 loads. Unfortunately, I had to buy another bottle. Pay attention to the little details like size, and you will be in good shape to keep your outdoor gear clean.

This wash is magical. It refreshed an old lightweight rain layer that had been “wetting out” and seemed hopeless, but now works just like new! Totally worth it. For anyone else using apartment or shared laundry with a locking lid and limited options, this wash still works if you need to put it in the basin before the water. It’s not recommended as per the directions but my gear came out fine. Really happy with this product and will absolutely get it again even though I used half the container for one load (4 items).

Great product

This product is very good! I gave it 3 stars because again one of the bottles leaked half the contents....I'm done, I'll go to REI next time and pay a $1 more at least I'll have all in the bottle.....
