Gentle cleaner for waterproof, breathable items.
The effectiveness of any fabric's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is maximized by proper cleaning. Tech Wash is a non-detergent, biodegradable cleaner that protects the water-repellent finish on fabrics by removing water-attracting dirt, contaminants and detergent residues. When you wash garments in Tech Wash, NIKWAX waterproofing treatments last twice as long as they will when you wash with detergent soap. The highly effective cleaning agents in Tech Wash and its ability to rinse residue-free improve the performance of virtually anything made of fabric, fleece or synthetic insulation.
Purchase USD$45 or more and get free shipping. The Nikwax Tech Wash Fabric Care 1000ml (33.8 fl oz) is available through Altrec.com.

Does a great job!
Cleans really well. Use this with the Wash-In and you are good to go! I did just that, and not only did my rain gear come out completely clean, but with the help of the Wash-In, I stayed dry all day!

Where did my DWR go?
If you ever have washed your rain jackets and or soft-shells with detergent, and wondered why the rain doesn't bead up anymore? It is your laundry detergent. After buying an Arc Teryx Gore-tex rain jacket and a MH softshell, I didn't want what usually happens when you use laundry detergent. After doing my research, I decided to use only Nikwax Tech Wash exclusively. Well my 4 year old rain jacket works as good as when it was new. And my 2 year old soft-shell beads the rain and snow as good as the day I bought it. Add Nikwax TX Direct or Wash-in, and you can't go wrong.

Great product
I use this product to wash all of my technical gear, and it works very well. It works particularly well on my waterproof rain gear. I recommend this product highly.

Tech Wash will bring back the newness and color to all your ski clothes:) we had some older skiing jackets and snow pants that had become really, really faded and tech wash was able to renew the color.
