Nikwax Down Wash (33.8 fl. oz.) Nikwax: Down Wash (33.8 fl. oz.)

Gentle cleaner for down-filled items.

Down Wash cleans and restores the loft and natural water-repellency of down garments and sleeping bags. It effectively cleans heavily soiled down-filled equipment. Down Wash preserves the water-repellency of outer fabrics as well as the down itself. It helps the down and feathers regain their "bounce" and loft. For maximum effectiveness use a large capacity commercial front-loading machine.

The down wash really freshens and restores the loftiness of the item being washed. Eventhough it is suggested to use a front loading machine I still use our top loading one and agitate the garment or bag by hand. I usually let the item soak for a few hours then I can use the spin cycle of the machine to extract the water. I have tried using a bathtub but the down bag soaks up so much water it is too heavy to lift. So by using the top loader as a tub I am ready to spin it dry! Nikwax Down Wash is one of the best brands I have tried! Cheryl E.
