It is the only product demonstrated to provide exceptional cleaning performance whilst maintaining 100% of the Durable Water Repellency (DWR), meaning your gear performs at its best for longer, keeping you warmer and drier. 

This is quite a statement, isn't it?  Here's why we can make this claim.

Samples of Nikwax Tech Wash® were sent to Intertek, an internationally respected, independent laboratory, to be evaluated against 6 leading outdoor brands' cleaning products, and traditional soap flakes. The aim of the test was to establish the effect of the products on DWR across a variety of common outdoor polyester, nylon, and membrane fabrics, whilst identifying the product with the best cleaning ability across a variety of soil types. 

Intertek compared the cleaning ability of all the products across stains as diverse as mud, blood, oil and wine. Across all tested soil stains, Tech Wash® cleaned significantly better than the competition. Not only did Tech Wash® provide the best clean for your outdoor gear, but it is also the only cleaner proven to maintain 100% of its DWR after washing. It will extend the life of your gear, keeping your favourite kit performing at its best for longer, and ensuring you stay warm and dry whilst out enjoying the wild weather. 

Nikwax Tech Wash® is proven to be the most effective cleaner in the test, maintaining DWR, ensuring that your kit remains water repellent and breathable, keeping you warm and dry. 

Tim Pickering, Head of Development at Nikwax said "We're really pleased to demonstrate overwhelmingly that Nikwax Tech Wash® is the best technical cleaner on the market for waterproof clothing. Other products do not clean as effectively, and cannot maintain as much water repellency, meaning you, the wearer, will get cold and wet. Extend the life of your gear by only using the best". 

Conclusion 

Waterproof clothing and equipment cannot function when dirty, so whether it's mud from your latest mountain hike, or food and wine from a leisurely picnic, use Nikwax Tech Wash® to deliver the best clean, revitalise DWR and breathability, and stay warm and dry in wet weather.
