11 best waterproofer for clothes

• WHY? Your outdoor and hiking clothing and gear lose water-repellency over time. Once the DWR (Durable Water Repellency) of your garments has worn out, you can restore it with a waterproofing treatment. Mountval Textile Shield is a hi-tech spray-on waterproofing solution that makes your clothing and gear waterproof without impairing breathability. Suitable for climatic membranes like GORE-TEX and others
• HOW? Mountval Textile Shield has been designed to restore the water-repellency of your wet weather clothing and maintaining breathability. It is extremely easy to use, just spray on and leave to dry. You use it once you feel that the water-repellency of your garment has worn off. It has a pleasant smell as it is solvent free. Spray on waterproofer is handy if your garments are too sensitive to apply a wash-in waterproofer
• WHAT? Mountval Textile Shield is best used with any kind of waterproof clothing and gear. Works great with climatic membranes like GORE-TEX
• SAFETY: The product is safe both for your clothes and for you, it meets the highest safety standards. It’s a non-aerosol gas-free spray
• 1 bottle contains 300ml (10.15 fl. Oz.). See product description for how to use instructions. Made in Europe

User questions & answers

Question:	Did anyone try it on cotton or poly-cotton? I know it's not designed for that, but I'm curious since I have this one
Answer:	No. Use the specific "tent" wash that Nikwax makes.
Question:	Would this work on a non-Gore Tex lined nylon parka
Answer:	It will make the flag water proof, but won't protect it from UV damage
Question:	how is this different from using tx direct
Answer:	Use Nikwax TX.Direct® Wash-In in a washing machine ...For best results remove all non-washable parts and always clean item(s) first with Nikwax Tech Wash® in a separate wash cycle. No need to dry item(s) before waterproofing.Top Loading Machine Wash:1. Place maximum of 3 clean garments in washing machine.2. After the machine has filled add 10floz/300ml of TX.Direct®.3. Set cycle to Heavy and Warm, Low water level.Front Loading Machine Wash:1. Remove all detergent build-up from the detergent dispenser.2. Place maximum of 2 clean garments in washing machine.3. Use 3floz/100ml per garment.4. Run 30oC Synthetic cycle and slow spin.Do not machine-wash garments if taped seams have become dislodged.*To maintain waterproofing always wash with Nikwax Tech Wash®. Do not use detergents.*Faulty taped seams sometimes become detached on old or worn garments. They can be re-stuck using a proprietary clear glue after waterproofing and drying.
Question:	I've used nikwax's tx direct for hard and soft shells with no probs. why should i buy the soft shell proof instead
Answer:	DON'T USE IN DOWN! This is ruin your down jacket! The product will clump the down making the insulation uses. Down jackets aren't water proof by nature anyways. This product use made for outerwear shells. Best DWR on the market is used properly.

Question:	It's good for cconvertbl top
Answer:	I do not have a down coat, but I would not hesitate to use starseal on it if I did! I used this on almost Everything I use outside, from coats to boots to gloves, even my umbrella. It does have a strong oder that will last a few days, but does dissipate, it worked very well on all tight knit cloth and materials, it worked great on my leather boots and gloves for a week or so. Does no do well on lose knitted items, ie: sweaters, it does waterproof the material, but water still runs through the knit. I just ed purchased a new couch, and will be spraying with starseal before I leave for work in the morning. NOTE: APPLY ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
Question:	Anyone tried this on a Down Jacket
Answer:	I have only used this on my tent and tent fly. I wash and rinse and spray the product over entire fly. After a few minutes I use damp cloth to smooth out any excess spray. Then I let dry completely before I pack tent to store. So no heat required and when it dries it's good to go. Hope this helps.

Repels Water, UV & Stains

The right side of this outdoor cushion was treated with Star brite Waterproofing and remains dry, while the left side was left untreated and is soaked through. Star brite Waterproofing polymers penetrate deep into fabrics for marine-grade performance and extended service-life in the harshest wet weather conditions. UV inhibitors act like sunscreen to protect against fading and sun damage. Star brite’s PTEF protective polymer barrier coating helps repel future dirt and stains to make cleaning easier.

Fabric Compatibility Check

Use Star brite Waterproofing to protect quality outdoor fabrics such as 100% nylon, canvas, cotton, polyester, or acrylic. If your fabric indicates that it is "laminated", “coated”, “backed” or is glued with adhesive, do not use this product. Instead, we recommend Star brite Water-based Waterproofing. If unsure of material type, please contact fabric manufacturer.

User questions & answers

Question:	i got a new patagonia nano puff jacket, can i add more waterproofing with this
Answer:	No it does not. It states on the label "no PFCs" and "no fluorocarbons", both terms are synonyms for PFAS.
Question:	Does this contain any pfas compounds
Answer:	You can actually use a little less than is suggested when you use a front loading washer. It works great in mine with half the recommended amount so I basically get twice as many washes out of a single bottle.
Question:	Any feedback with use of front loading washing machines
Answer:	Each bottle is 10 ounces; however, if you read the washing instructions, you may want to order more than one set of Tech Wash and Soft-shell Wash, especially if you own a number of garments. For instance, Tech Wash recommends 5 fluid ounces (half the bottle) be used to machine wash up to 6 garments. Despite this drawback, the Nikwax products have been great; I've been using them for about ten years for washing Gore-tex. The TX Direct is good for bringing back the water repellent finish.
Question:	Is each product 10 oz? Or are they 10 oz in total
Answer:	Since my breatheable waders are no longer under warranty, I am going to give it a go as I have everything to gain IF it works.
