## Long description

Nikwax Down Wash Direct 1000 ml is a liquid cleaning treatment designed specifically for down-filled garments and sleeping bags. The formula removes dirt and body oils while avoiding harsh detergents that can strip natural loft and reduce thermal performance. It is suitable for use in machines or hand washing when used in accordance with garment care labels and helps restore water repellency and breathability to treated items without the need for additional drying aids.
Advantages
This cleaning treatment gently cleans down while preserving natural loft and insulation properties. The water-based formulation is free from aggressive surfactants that can collapse down clusters, and it helps maintain breathability and the overall performance of down garments. Using Nikwax Down Wash Direct can extend the usable life of jackets, vests and sleeping bags by removing oils and contaminants that reduce loft and effectiveness.
