Nikwax Stain Scrub is a pre-wash treatment designed for stubborn stains on waterproof and insulated clothing and gear. Lift stains, including ground-in dirt, grass, blood, and even red wine, all while preserving the garment’s waterproof coating. Used alongside Nikwax cleaners and waterproofers to ensure gear stays clean and continues to perform at its best in all conditions.

Perfect for light and bright colours, which tend to show dirt and grime more easily, Nikwax Stain Scrub supports the performance features of your technical outdoor gear. When stains are left untreated, they can become harder to remove and may even compromise the fabric’s performance.

Unlike standard stain treatments that often contain bleach or harsh chemicals, Nikwax Stain Scrub won’t damage delicate technical fibres or strip away your clothing’s waterproof coating. This means your gear stays breathable, water-resistant, and performing at its full potential.

Key Benefits:

• Lifts stubborn stains without affecting durable water repellency (DWR)
• Works on ground in dirt, mud, grass, blood, even red wine! 
• Free from bleaching agents and harmful chemicals
• Built-in brush applicator for easy, targeted use
• Safer for you, your clothing, and the environment
• Extends the life of outdoor clothing and gear
• Recommended for Gore-Tex®, eVent® and all waterproof and insulated clothing
  

PRODUCT INFO:

Waterproof and down-filled clothing can easily pick up stains and ground-in dirt. Nikwax Stain Scrub lifts these stubborn stains while preserving the garment’s waterproof coating, ensuring your gear continues to perform at its best in all conditions.

Light and bright colours especially benefit from regular use, as dirt and grime show up more prominently. Standard stain treatments often contain bleach or other harmful chemicals that can break down technical fibres and strip away waterproof coatings, reducing water resistance and damaging overall performance.

Nikwax Stain Scrub is specifically formulated to remove dirt and grime while maintaining the technical properties of your gear, including breathability and waterproofing. Using products designed for outdoor clothing ensures your gear performs better, lasts longer, and saves you money in the long run.

For best results, use Nikwax Stain Scrub alongside Tech Wash® or Down Wash®, followed by a Nikwax waterproofer such as TX Direct®. This combination keeps your outdoor gear clean, performing at its best, and ready for every adventure.
