Nikwax DOWN WASH DIRECT 300ml, Technical Cleaner for Down Gear, Cleans Effectively, Enhances Water Repellency and Maintains Insulation, Down Washing Detergent

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Brings your down jacket back to life, worth every penny I was sceptical about buying a specialist cleaner just for down, but after using this I completely understand why it’s needed. I used it on a well-worn down jacket that had started to feel flat and slightly damp in light rain. After one wash and proper tumble drying, the difference was immediate. The jacket felt lighter, much puffier, and noticeably warmer. It genuinely restored the loft and performance. What stood out most is how well it cleans without damaging the down. Regular detergents can leave residues that attract moisture and reduce insulation, but this product avoids that and helps maintain water resistance. It’s also very straightforward to use. Just add it to the washing machine like normal detergent. There’s no strong chemical smell either, which I appreciated. Pros Restores loft and warmth very effectively Helps improve water resistance Gentle on down with no residue build-up Easy to use in a standard wash Cons More expensive than regular detergent Proper drying is still essential for best results Overall, if you own a down jacket or sleeping bag, this is well worth it. It helps extend the life of your gear and keeps it performing as it should. I would definitely buy it again.

I can’t recommend this down wash enough. In my view it’s the best. I’ve got a few down coats (some are synthetic down) including an expensive Jack Wolfskin winter-weight waterproof, windproof heavy duty jacket. I’ve just washed that and followed up with the wash-in waterproofer from Nikwax and the coat came up like brand new. I’m really impressed with how easy it is to use in the washing machine and it gives excellent results every time. There’s no odour and it removes all stains. Highly recommended and personally I wouldn’t use anything else. The one litre bottle is great value for money too. Thank you.

Worked well on my long raincoat from Mountain Warehouse which stipulated to use a product for down stuff. I didnt notice any problems with the smell. Very easy to use. Cleaned well.

Easy to use, works a treat. Great product. Been using for decades. Thank you

Very pleased worked a treat also quick delivery ( arrived christmas day )

Great product

I always buy this brand to wash my feather down coats in, it works well and they come out of the tumble dryer looking brand new

Must have for hikers to look after waterproof clothes

Restores loft to down gear that's gotten compressed and flattened over time. Actually cleans it right without damaging the down like regular detergent would. Follow the instructions and your down gear works like new again instead of looking sad and flat. Takes time to do properly but worth it for expensive gear that you want to last. Extends the life of what you own instead of having to replace it. Makes down jackets and sleeping bags perform better. The smell after washing is clean. Brings gear back to life when it's lost performance. Essential if you own quality down products.

Daunen Jacke sah nach der Wäsche wieder aus wie neu

Good to wash your technical water proof clothes

Commentaire d utilisation simple économie puisqu'il impermeabilise en même temps Donc pas de 2e passage en machine

Employé pour nettoyer des sacs de couchage en duvet d'oie (ou de canard) dans une machine à chargement frontale. En cycle "laine / lavage à la main" à 30 C et essorage à 400 tours par minute, les sacs sont ressortis plus propre, et sans grosses boules de duvet. (Après un lavage dans une machine à chargement par le dessus à l'américaine (grosse cuve), j'avais obtenu des boules de duvet que j'ai dû défaire une à une). Aucun soucis avec ce produit Nikwax, mais il faut bien faire attention à la machine employée lors du lavage. D'ailleurs Nikwax recommande de laver les sacs de couchage à la main plutôt qu'en machine...
