## Description

Specialty cleaner designed to safely clean down filled apparel and gear. Household detergents can damage the down by leaving behind water attracting residues

Review: Good Stuff - I hand washed a down vest I got used - one oz Nikwax wash in a large 1gal mixing bowl. The vest had some serious BO from the previous wearer. The Nikwax wash completely removed the BO, and the vest appears and feels much better than the condition I received it in. While I could smell the Nikwax wash while I was doing the washing, there is no odor after rinsing.
Review: Works Great Cleaning Down Comforter - Used it twice cleaning a down comforter in a front loading LG washing machine. The second time my daughter threw up all over it - it was gross. Threw it in the washer the next morning with the detergent and it came out clean with no odor. FYI the dry cleaner wanted around $70 to wash the comforter, which is around what we paid for it, so this is much much cheaper alternative and actually easier - no dropping it off or picking it back up. The packaging says to hand wash a comforter in a bathtub, but we are lazy and figured if it didn't work, we were no worse off and would purchase a new one. The down comforter was washed in cold water, gentle cycle, slow spin speed and an extra rinse cycle. NOTE: it does take a while to dry a comforter in the dryer. You have to take it out and shake it a few times. It also help if you have several of the wool dryer balls in there to keep it from bunching up. We have around 10 or so that we threw in the dryer with the comforter and it took a couple of hours to dry, but we had it on a low / gentle heat and not the high heat to not damage it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great!
*by C***N on August 31, 2025*

Works great! I used the recommended amount, 3 oz., plus some for localized treatment -cuffs, chin, pocket edges. I’ve tried to wash that old (maybe 45 years old) parka a few times. Never looked clean. It came out CLEAN. It looked presentable, instead of looking like a 40 year old back packing garment. Fluffy , too. My vest went in , too. Both garments fluffed up in the neck area. That area, gets a lot of body oil. The stuff is expensive, but a new mountain parka is serious $.
