Review: Great stuff Review: I tested it on a normal nylon bag. The bag was not water resistant at all from the start. The first time I washed the bag then applied TX Direct Spray, the fabric became slightly water resistant. I figured it could be improved. I washed it more deeply and rinsed it much better, then applied the TX Direct again. The second time the water beading is much better. It does work, just wash well and rinse thoroughly, then spray, wipe excess and you'll be good. ## Features - Safely cleans technical synthetic outerwear without damaging DWR (waterproofing treatment).

I used it for my coat and sleeping bag after working a backcountry trail crew all summer. Removed the stains and most of the smells. I used a little bit of white vinegar for the rest. **Q: How long does the product itself last? Is it shelf stable for a few years? Or does it degrade and not clean well after being opened for a year?** A: it is shelf stable for a year . I have used it after its been open for a while and it cleans just as well. **Q: Does this product contain UV brightners?** A: Definitely NOT! There is a potential for problems if you wear clothes impregnated with optical brighteners in natural sunlight. You should definitely avoid UV brighteners. NikWax is the best product that you can use for your outdoor wear. It will keep your active wear looking and performing like new. No, I don't work for NikWax:} I'm a skier with a lot of pants and jackets. Kjus, a manufacturer of luxury ski wear, actually recommends NikWax on their site for care. I've been using NikWax products for years and it has kept everything perfect and won't strip the clothing of its protective coating. I use more than just the Techwash too. I use their down wash product and also some of their leather waterproofing and cleaning products on my gloves and footwear. **Q: Would this be a good choice for getting the smell of forest fire smoke out of synthetic sleeping bags?** A: I thank it will work. Used it to clean motorcycle riding gear and it gave good results. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by L***Y on 20 March 2025* Great stuff ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***H on 12 November 2022* I tested it on a normal nylon bag. The bag was not water resistant at all from the start. The first time I washed the bag then applied TX Direct Spray, the fabric became slightly water resistant. I figured it could be improved.

If your gear gets accidentally washed in regular detergent ( which plugs it, losing its waterproofing) this will clean the fabric and make it water proof again. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nikwax Tech Wash 34 fl. oz., Nikwax Tech Wash Technical Cleaner for Jackets and Outerwear, Restores Waterproofing in Rain, Ski, and Snow Gear, Safe for Gore-Tex and DWR - Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofing 500 ml - Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In Waterproofing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/525067888-tech-wash](https://www.desertcart.at/products/525067888-tech-wash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
