Nikwax Wool Wash

Nikwax Wool Wash Deodorising cleaner and conditioner for woollen technical underwear and wicking clothing worn next to the skin. Wool Wash™ effectively cleans, softens, freshens, inhibits the build up of body odours, accelerates drying and improves cooling efficiency of woollen base layers.
Why technical base layer fabrics dry quickly and cool you down Woollen base layers are designed to be worn next to the skin, providing user comfort by maintaining body temperature and controlling moisture. They are highly wicking (will spread moisture out over a large area), fast drying and breathable. It is therefore essential to maintain these properties when caring for woollen base layers. Base layers need to be cared for properly to keep them in top condition Base layers are fantastic for regulating your temperature and controlling body moisture, but to keep them functioning properly care must be taken when washing. It is recommended to wash woollen items in mild liquid detergents and to avoid using powder or bio detergents, which contain enzymes. Using conventional household detergents or fabric conditioners can impair wicking properties by causing the fabric to retain moisture. This leads to reduced wicking capabilities and slow drying of the fabric, resulting in reduced user comfort. Additionally, standard household softeners and conditioners can lead to pilling over a number of washes. Anyone who is active outdoors will benefit from wearing a base layer All active people should use base layers to effectively manage body moisture and regulate temperature. Hill walkers, runners, cyclists, and mountaineers are among those who utilise base layers to maintain their comfort whilst active.
Wash your base layers after use Once your base layer has been used a few times wash it with Nikwax Wool Wash™ to refresh, remove odours, soften and enhance drying and cooling. Always apply Nikwax Wool Wash™ to used woollen base layers, socks and travel clothing to keep them in perfect condition. Conventional household detergents and fabric conditioners reduce the performance of your base layers Using conventional household detergents and fabric conditioners will impair the wicking properties of base layer fabrics. Standard household detergents do not stop odours from building up in the fabric when in use. Conventional fabric conditioners 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 conditioners at improving wicking, accelerating
