Frequently Asked Questions about Nikwax
For most outdoor clothing, Nikwax recommends re-proofing and washing your gear at least once a year. However, if your gear gets dirty or wet frequently, especially shoes, you may need to re-proof it more often. No, Nikwax treatments do not affect the look, feel, texture, or colour of your gear. The treatments are designed to maintain the original appearance and performance of your outdoor clothing. No, Nikwax products do not require heat to bond with the fabric. However, some factory-applied treatments may need to be reactivated with heat. Always check the manufacturer's instructions for any specific reactivation guidelines. Nikwax treatments are long-lasting and effective. If you treat your gear correctly, it can typically withstand 4-6 washes using Nikwax Tech Wash before needing to be re-waterproofed again.
