Once your merino wool items have been used a few times wash them with Nikwax Wool Wash™ to refresh, remove odors, soften and enhance drying and cooling. Apply Nikwax Wool Wash™ to merino wool base layers, socks, and travel clothing to keep them in perfect condition.
Conventional household detergents and fabric softeners reduce the performance of your base layers…
Using conventional household detergents and fabric softeners will impair the wicking properties of merino wool fabrics. Standard household detergents do not stop odors from building up in the fabric when in use. Conventional fabric softeners leave water-hating (hydrophobic) residues that will reduce the performance of the fabric, preventing it from spreading moisture and working to its maximum potential.
Nikwax Wool Wash™ outperforms conventional household detergents and fabric softeners at improving wicking, accelerating drying, and removing and preventing odor build up.
For best results make sure you use the correct product…
Nikwax Wool Wash™ has been specifically formulated for use when cleaning and deodorizing merino wool. If you have synthetic active clothing make sure you use Nikwax BaseWash® for best results.
