What is NIKWAX
NIKWAX is a liquid which give a clothing or bag the power of water repelency.
NIKWAX is cheap and excellent.
There are two types NIKWAX for giving water repellency.
NIKWAX TECH WASH
TECH WASH remove strongly small dirts on a clothes.
TECH WASH is green bottle.(left)
In fact,powder detergent or soap scum remain on clothes after rinsing.
They reduce the power of water repellency on fishing clothes.
NIKWAX TECH WASH remove them strongly.
NIKWAX TX.DIRECT WASH-IN
DIRECT WASH-IN give water repellency to clothes, knit cap,bag,gloves,scocks etc..
TECH WASH is blue bottle.(right)
In the past,I use only DIRECT WASH-IN and failed to give the power of water repellency.
To give water repellency,You must use both NIKWAX.

How to use NIKWAX and its effect
Official treatment is that
set washing machine volume of water setting on 20ℓ.
TECH WASH 300㎖ and clothes put into washing machine.
Then do the laundry as usual.
After finishing the first laundry,put DIRECT WASH-IN 300㎖ into washing machine.
Then do the laundry as usual.
Hang washing out to dry.
By this treatment,I have a gut feeling that the power of water repellency maintain one or two year.
But by this treatment,You must use massive NIKWAX and cost alot.
So,I introduce my original way to use NIKWAX and giving the power of water repellency.
My original way to use NIKWAX and giving the power of water repellency
①Do a laundry without entering anything
First,to remove dirt roughly,
close the zipper,do a laundry.
Do not hang out.
In this time,I use to experiments

I wear snowboard wear when go to squid fishing in winter.
I bought this snow board wear by Blue Blood 10 years ago.
He lost the power of water repellency now.
When I splash water to this snow board wear,It absorb water.
(I treated this wear with NIKWAX about 3 years ago)
・FISHING WEAR

When I splash water to this fishing wear,It absorb water than towel do .www
②Wash with TECH(green bottle)
TECH WASH has sharp smell.
Wash in bathroom keeping the fan running or outdoors.
Fill tepid water into a large bucket or bait container about 15ℓ.
In this amount,you can give 6 fishing cloth the power of water repellency.
Add TECH WASH(green bottle) 300㎖ to 15ℓ tepid water.
Put fishing clothes which done laundry in this TECH WASH water.
About 10 min,wash it stepping it on and rubbing it with your foot. Then…..
Although you did a laundry it,dirts come out.

]Do not hang out.
④Give the power of water repellency using DIRECT WASH-IN(blue bottle)
As lIke ②treatment,fill tepid water into bucket about 20ℓ.
Add DIRECT WASH-IN(blue bottle) 300㎖ to 20ℓ tepid water.
Put fishing clothes which done laundry in this DIRECT WASH-IN water.
About 10 min,wash it stepping it on and rubbing it with your foot as like ②treatment.
⑤Do a laundry with DIRECT WASH-IN water
Put fihing clothes with DIRECT WASH-IN water which you used into washing machine.
Do a laundry.
⑥Hang it out in shade
Hang it out in shade for 2 or 3 days.
That is All.
Then,let’s look at the effect of NIKWAX.
The effect of NIKWAX
Snowboard wear which has water repellency originally,regain the power of water repellency.
Fishing wear absorbing water as like towel,gain the water repellency.
