Nikwax Down Wash & Down Proof SKU #7281563(View on Zappos.com Classic)
Product Information:
- A complete package containing both the Down Wash and Down Proof treatments.
- The non-detergent and bio-degradable Down Wash treatment restores the loft and natural water-repellency of down garments, sleeping bags and comforters. It effectively cleans heavily soiled down-filled equipment. By preserving the water-repellency of outer fabrics as well as the down, it helps the down and feathers regain their “bounce" and loft (can be applied directly to remove grease spots or stains).
- The Down Proof treatment increases the effectiveness of the insulation in damp conditions and makes down less susceptible to humidity. The wash-in treatment reduces the water-absorbency of down, adds water-repellency to the outer shell, and helps down dry faster (lasts several washings).
- Each container is 10 oz.

I have pretty much lived out of my down sleeping bag for the last seven years and have had to wash it without a good down wash in the past which was the best I could under the circumstances. I was glad to see that it was offered on Zappos. The Nixwax down wash and down proof is pretty straight forward on its use. The bag smelled great when it was done and didn't have that damp down smell even...just smelled clean. The down proof gave a nice luster to the bag and it looked good as new considering the use it has seen. Very happy overall. The down proof is bottle is only enough for one wash of a 2-3 season bag if I remember correctly. I had enough of the down wash for two washings. So, this combo is more for a one time wash on a 2-3 season bag.

Really great stuff; works like a charm -
These two worked wonders. I wouldn't be sure how they would work alone since I used them together (washed jacket with down wash, then with down proof, then dried the jacket in the dryer). Be sure to follow instructions exactly. My jacket is fluffy, clean (mysterious dirt and stains disappeared) and now rain water will "bead" off of it. Doesn't make the item waterproof, just a good water resistance.
