A SMALL, OUTDOOR SPECIALIST RETAILER, OWNED BY A PROFESSIONAL PRODUCT TESTER
This Nikwax Cotton Proof is specifically formulated for cotton and polycotton fabrics, making it perfect for canvas tents, cotton clothing, and outdoor gear. Unlike general waterproofing treatments, this specialist formula adds water repellency while maintaining the natural breathability of cotton fabrics. The water-based, environmentally friendly formula also prevents canvas rot caused by dampness - crucial for extending the life of expensive canvas tents and outdoor equipment.
Cotton and polycotton fabrics require specialist treatment to maintain their natural properties while adding water repellency. This formula is designed specifically for these materials, ensuring the fabric remains breathable while gaining effective water resistance. Perfect for canvas tents, cotton outdoor clothing, and polycotton camping gear that needs protection without losing its natural characteristics.
One of the key benefits of Cotton Proof is its ability to prevent canvas rot caused by dampness. When cotton fabrics stay wet, they can develop mould and rot, destroying expensive tents and outdoor gear. This treatment creates a protective barrier that allows moisture to escape while preventing water penetration, significantly extending the life of your cotton and canvas equipment.
The 300ml bottle can be used in multiple ways - in a washing machine for thorough treatment of clothing, or by hand for spot treatments and larger items like tents. The formula can even be applied to wet fabric, making it convenient for field use. No tumble drying is required, and the treatment won't affect the cosmetic appearance of your gear.
Nikwax's water-based formula is environmentally friendly and safe for both you and your gear. Unlike solvent-based treatments, this won't damage cotton fibres or leave harmful residues. It's safe to use indoors and around family, making it the responsible choice for maintaining your outdoor equipment.
