Professional Care Instructions
For optimal results, always begin by cleaning garments with Tech Wash to remove contaminants before applying TX.Direct. The water-based formula penetrates fabric fibers to restore beading performance while maintaining breathability. Unlike conventional detergents, this system preserves the moisture-wicking properties of high-performance outdoor fabrics.
Application Tips
- Pre-treat heavily soiled areas with undiluted Tech Wash before washing
- Use warm water (40°C/104°F max) to open fabric pores during treatment
- Air dry or tumble dry on low heat if care labels permit to activate DWR
