Nikwax TX Direct

Does your waterproof jacket need a refresh? Meet Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In! It's dead easy to use in your washing machine. Just wash and let it air dry, no tumble dryer needed. This saves energy and keeps older garments safe from heat damage. Perfect for breathable and waterproof gear, it adds a flexible, water-repellent layer without messing up the breathability. Fancy that!

How to use:
The washing machine method is great for your water-resistant, breathable clothing.
Got clothes with an absorbent lining? Go for the spray method instead.

Washing Machine Instructions:
For the best results:

• Remove all soap residue from the soap drawer.
• Pop up to 2 items in the washing machine.
• Use 100ml per garment.
• Select a synthetic wash programme at 30° with a low spin.

Do you have clothes with loose taped seams? Best not to machine wash them.
Always use Nikwax Tech Wash first. Avoid regular detergent—it strips off the water-repellent coating.

Manual Method:
Use gloves for this method:

• Fill a basin with 6 litres of lukewarm water and submerge 1 clean garment.
• Add 50ml of TX.Direct.
• Give it a good stir, let it soak for 5-10 minutes, then stir again.
• Rinse with cold water until the water runs clear.

For clothes with old or worn seams, the tape might peel off. Don't worry—you can fix this with a clear adhesive after the items are dry.

Let them air dry or, if allowed, use a gentle tumble dryer cycle.

Spraying Method:

• Cover your work surface and lay the clean, wet garment flat.
• Spray evenly from about 15 cm away.
• Wait two minutes, then wipe off any excess with a damp cloth.

Important features:

• Easy wash-in application for water-resistant, breathable clothing.
• No tumble dryer needed—saves energy!
• Suitable for older garments—prevents heat damage.
• Maintains breathability while adding water repellency.
• Handy spray option for clothes with absorbent linings.
