As HE washers use significantly less water, Nikwax suggests using 2/3 of the suggested amount of the cleaning "Wash" products and the normal amount of proofing products. **Q: For amazon verified purchasers of this 2-pack kit - the size for the page says 10oz-is this page selling 2-5oz or 2-10oz bottles?** A: It is one 10 oz bottle of the wash and one 10 oz bottle of the treatment. **Q: What is the difference between the Nikwax Hardshell and Softshell packs? Thanks!** A: Hardshell are textiles, meaning outerwear with fabric that doest stretch much. Softshell is the opposite, clothing that conforms and has stretchy fabric. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keeps gear like new *by A***R on April 1, 2026* Great product! This duo pack keeps our expensive outerwear clean and fully waterproof. Most importantly, it doesn’t diminish the effectiveness of the technical fabric at all. Simple to use and highly effective. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nikwax Hardshell Cleaning system review *by J***T on June 9, 2026* Works great on my ski jackets that are worn daily during the winter months and tend to get dirty. Very pleased how clean they look, especially since one of the jackets is white. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very small amount. Will only do 1 load of waterproofing *by K***S on December 5, 2019* This will get you 2 washes of about 3 items each and only 1 waterproofing of said three items. So you can actually wash about 6 items but will only be able to waterproof 3. I used this to wash 3 coats. 2 hard shell rain coats (a Marmot and a Northface) and a winter snowboard coat that used to be waterproof. I read through a ton of reviews and looked at all the different versions. I debated getting the other soft shell version and doing the snowboard coat separate but when I got the bottles I realized how small they actually are. Reading the instructions I though you might only need a capful or some lesser quantity but for 1 load you need the whole bottle of waterproofer. Once I figured that out I wasn’t going to wash all three items and then wait and waterproof them separate so I did them all together. The cleaning agent did a great job! The north face is about 10+ years old and was pretty filithy. It came out nearly brand new! Especially around the arm holes. Same with my board coat. The directions were easy to follow and i didn’t dry them at all in between wash and waterproof. However since my Marmot has sealed seams I didn’t want to tumble dry and risk ruining the seals. So I air dried that after waterproofing, and tumbled on low the other two. Once they were all fully dry I did the water test. Both hard shells were back to being waterproof again! Both beaded up instantly with no immediate soaking. I’m sure it will take a real test of being in the actual rain to tell but neither were beading at all prior to this so I’ll take it as a win. The snowboard coat however, did not fair so well. It just straight absorbs any water that touches it. But given that it is not a hard shell jacket and I may have just been setting my hopes too high that this would just “work”, I’m not totally dissapointes. I am tempted to get the spray waterproofer now though and see if that will help. Either that or buy the other version and try again. Either way I wasn’t going to *not* wash it with the others since I had the stuff to use so it was worth a shot. So overall I would say it works great for HARDSHELL rain jackets. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nikwax Hardshell Cleaning & Waterproofing Duo-Pack - Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofing 500 ml - Nikwax Tent & Gear Care --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4147409-hardshell-cleaning-and-waterproofing-duo-pack](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4147409-hardshell-cleaning-and-waterproofing-duo-pack) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-15*
