Old chestnut about reproofing Goretex

Yep

and give the jacket a wash in Techwash before re-proofing it to make
sure you clean it of al previous detergents,

Hi,

I have an 8 year old Goretex jacket that is due its 1st was and
reproofing. Having scanned back through old postings, the recommended
products seem to be the Nikwax TX products, although there were
comments which implied that the age of the fabric affected the best
treatment. Is that the case, and if so, will I still be alright using
the Nikwax products?

I also saw a comment about removing all traces of biological washing
powder from the machine before doing this. Presumably the key thing
here is getting rid of other detergents rather than whether they are
biological or not?

Hi there.

Here's a useful article. It happens to be talking about Grangers
rather than Nikwax, but the principles are the same.

Good luck! :-)
