How to Use (Washing Machine)

Clothing: Place up to 1 garment in the machine, add 100ml to the dispenser, and run a 30°C synthetic cycle on a slow spin with an extra rinse if possible.

Sleeping Bags (8kg+ machine): Add 100ml for 8–11kg machines (250ml for 12kg; 500ml for 25kg+). Run a 30°C synthetic cycle on a slow spin with an extra rinse.

Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting, teasing apart clumps between cycles to restore loft. Do not dry before waterproofing.

Can Also Be Used by Hand

Add 100ml to 12–15L of warm water, immerse the item, agitate, soak for 5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Spin dry 3 times on a slow spin to remove excess water.

Tip: Use undiluted Nikwax Down Wash directly on stubborn stains before washing. Do not use conventional detergents.
