WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: 

• Machine wash application is best if care label allows. (For front loading Washing machines: Use approximately half of the amount of Nikwax product called for on the instruction label.) 
• Fasten all velcro straps, buckles and zippers. Clean garments first using Nikwax Tech Wash or other non-detergent soap. 
• Leave wet garments in machine. Set machine according to the chart below. 1-2 garments - low water level - 10 oz. Shake well. 
• After the machine has filled add at least one bottle of TX-Direct Wash-In. -Run full machine cycle including rinses. For best results, stop the machine 5 minutes into the cycle and let garments soak for 15 minutes. 
• Restart the machine and complete all cycles including rinses. If hand washing, immerse clean garment in warm water (4 gal/18 liters per garment). 
• Shake product well and add 3 capfuls of TX-Direct Wash-In per garment. Agitate thoroughly. Let garments soak for 15 minutes and agitate periodically. 
• Rinse thoroughly. Tumble dry on heat setting recommended on care label. Otherwise, iron using a warm steam setting or hang dry. 

Caring For Waterproof/Breathable Fabrics 

• A durable water-repellent (DWR) finish is applied to the outermost surface of waterproof/breathable clothing and equipment during manufacture. It prevents the fabric from absorbing moisture by making water bead up and roll off. This minimizes condensation forming within and maximizes breathability. The DWR finish is not permanent and needs to be maintained to optimize performance. Safe for use on Gore-Tex®, Sympatex®, Entrant®, Ultrex®, TriplePoint® and all liner and shell fabrics. 
• Clean with Nikwax Tech Wash. Dirt will attract water and reduce the beading-up of droplets on the fabric''s surface. Wash the garment in Nikwax Tech Wash non-detergent soap. Detergents can leave water-attractive residues that will not rinse out. They also contain agents that can wash away water-repellent treatments. Never use liquid detergents or fabric softeners. 
• Treat to restore durable water-repellency with Nikwax TX-Direct. Washing and using fabrics can make them begin to absorb water or "wet out". Nikwax TX-Direct completely restores surface water-repellency which enhances breathability. Nikwax TX-Direct lasts several washings and does not need to be reapplied after every wash like other treatments. TX-Direct is available in both wash-in and spray-on versions. 
• Maintain by cleaning the fabric with Nikwax Tech Wash. Once treated, keep the fabric clean with Nikwax Tech Wash to maximize performance and extend the life of the fabric''s new water-repellent finish.
