Effectively clean and prolong the life of your Dryrobe® Advance with Nikwax

Features

Nikwax have carried out a full product test with a two-stage recommendation for effectively cleaning and maintaining the Durable Water Repellency on your much loved dryrobe® Advance.

1. Wash the dryrobe using Nikwax Tech Wash on a 30°C cycle and air dry.

2. Spray TX Direct Spray-On to reproof the outer shell of the garment.

This multipack of Nikwax Tech Wash 300ml and Nikwax TX Direct Spray-On 300ml is the environmentally safe solution for effectively cleaning and prolonging the life of your dryrobe®.

You can also use Nikwax Tech Wash multiple times before needing to reproof your dryrobe® products due to the Tech Wash formula cleaning without removing the DWR, as some detergents tend to do.

Follow directions for use on the packaging. If the dryrobe® is too large to comfortably fit in the washing machine, follow the instructions for hand washing.

Nikwax Tech Wash 300ml contains two effective wash cycles.

"I've had my Dryrobe for nearly 2 years and it hadn't been washed yet. I was a bit nervous but it came up really well. I recommended it to all of my Wild swimming ( Dooking) group as I know nobody has washed their Dryrobes yet. I wear it all the time as I dook and swim a lot. I absolutely love it. I would love to be in a position to by the new limited edition funky design Dryrobe. I love it!!"

— Lynn B. (5/5)

Does what it says on the container.

"Easy to use product and whilst I didn't take the dog out in a downpour so unable to fully comment, it made the dog jacket keep the rainwater off him long enough to get him home again dry so, I am happy."

— Miss F. (5/5)

Excellent

"Perfect detergent for Dryrobe changing robes. My oldest robe was beyond dirty, but after washing it looks like new."

— Susanna B. (5/5)

Didn't solve the issue

"Bought a Dryrobe last year. Wore it once on a walk on a cold dry day then packed it when I moved. Took it out to wear again recently when we had the first round of torrential rains and I got absolutely soaked through. I explained my issue to Dryrobe but due to the coat being recently out of guarantee, they couldn't replace it so it was suggested I spend even more money on these waterproofing products. Followed the instructions, washed and sealed the coat. Wore it yesterday during our stormy weather and the coat is still leaking. I'm assuming it's of no use in torrential rain, which defeats the purpose of why I bought it, and now I have to buy something else. Really disappointed with Dryeobe products and won't purchase again or recommend them. Overpriced and useless."
