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.
Amazing and very cost effective
I am glad I bought this item. I used it to wash my down comfortable, jacket, and sleeping bag. I am pretty happy with the result. One thing to note is; make sure to check for lumps during drying process. Tumble dry(no heat) and keep drying it until there are no clumps of down. I also put 3 tennis balls in the dryer to make them puffy. I definitely will buy it again.
Great for all Down gear
Have used Nikwax down wash for years and always love the result. Used if for clothes, bags and duvet. Hence the big bottle!
Great product for those who like to wash their own down items.
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.
