Nikwax TX Direct Wash-In 1 litre restores and reinforces the water-repellent coating on your waterproof clothing and outdoor gear. Over time, the DWR coating on jackets, trousers and drysuits loses its effectiveness. Rainwater then soaks into the fabric instead of beading off, leading to wet shoulders and reduced comfort. With TX Direct, you can restore that protection with a simple wash.

The 1-litre bottle is the most economical choice if you are treating multiple items of clothing or wish to repeat the treatment regularly. Always use TX Direct on previously cleaned clothing, preferably after a wash with Nikwax Tech Wash. Add the product to the detergent compartment, select a normal wash cycle and allow the garment to air dry. A tumble dryer is not necessary: the coating works optimally even without a tumble dry.

The TX Direct formula is water-based and free from PFCs and PFAS. This is not only better for the environment, but also for the breathability of your materials: the breathability of your Gore-Tex or softshell clothing remains fully intact after treatment. The product does not affect the colour or appearance of your clothing. Once dry, your gear will perform like new again.

With the Nikwax TX Direct Wash-In 1 litre, you’re investing in the long-term performance of your waterproof gear. Whether you’re kitesurfing, windsurfing or spending a day at the beach: wet clothing due to an outdated DWR coating is a thing of the past. One treatment per season keeps your gear in top condition.
