The price is high, but it’s worth it. Excellent quality. There is no unnecessary odor and it removes even significant dirt. The down ends up in better condition than when new. Highly recommended.
Specialty detergent Nikwax Down Wash Direct is formulated specifically for the care of outdoor apparel and equipment filled with both natural and hydrophobic down. The advanced composition thoroughly eliminates dirt while restoring waterproofing, thermal performance, and the flexibility of materials, making it a prime choice for servicing technical garments.
Engineered for both machine washing and manual cleaning of larger items such as sleeping bags, the product maintains the integrity of down by preserving breathability and original hydrophobic characteristics. Residue from cleaning agents that can reduce waterproof protection is effectively removed, unlike ordinary detergents which often leave behind water-attracting traces, ensuring longer-lasting functionality of gear and apparel.
As a fully eco-friendly cleaning solution, the water-based formula is biodegradable, non-flammable, and contains no fluorocarbons or propellants. No animal testing is involved. Backed by a four-year manufacturer’s warranty, the detergent also serves as a potent remover of stains and greases, suitable for use without pre-dilution.

A product like everything from Nikwax – worth recommending. Effectively cleans down jackets without changing the structure and properties of the jacket’s filling. It does the job.
-
The Nikwax Down Wash Direct 300 ml cleaning agent is perfect for hybrid jackets, those that contain down as well as water-resistant materials like DWR. I recommend the product.

The best product for washing down jackets, and I’ve used quite a few already.
