Description

Baselayers work by moving moisture away from the skin, so detergent residue and built-up odour can quickly make them feel less effective. Nikwax BaseWash Deodorising Cleaner for Baselayers is formulated for synthetic next-to-skin and activewear fabrics, cleaning away sweat and odour while helping restore wicking and faster drying.

It can be used in a washing machine or by hand and is designed without the fabric-softening effect that can interfere with technical performance. BaseWash is intended for synthetic baselayers and activewear rather than waterproof clothing, making it a focused care product for the layers worn closest to the skin.

About the brand

Nikwax

Nikwax is a British brand and the trusted name in waterproofing and aftercare since 1977, when founder Nick Brown mixed his first batch of waterproofing wax for his leather walking boots. It has stayed focused on helping outdoor gear perform better and last longer ever since.

Its water-based, PFC-free treatments restore and improve the waterproofing of jackets, boots, tents and equipment while maintaining breathability, all without harming the environment. In fact, Nikwax is the only established waterproofing aftercare brand never to have used PFCs. From wash-in solutions to easy sprays, it is a simple, effective part of any outdoor kit.
