Description
CottonProof wash-in or paint-on treatment adds water repellency to cotton, heavy duty canvas and poly-cotton fabrics. It contains a high concentration of active ingredients that make it highly effective on clothing and gear that typically offer minimum protection from the elements. It works great on everything from barn coats and duffel bags to outdoor clothing and tents. Can be diluted with water and sprayed or painted on wet or dry cotton or canvas tents.

Easy to do , leaving clothing soft and water beading on it. Directions were clear. My daughter and I are gong to Iceland and have been told we should have waterproof clothes since when it rains it is also windy. We waterproofed two pair of cotton pants each. It appears that the water beads nicely on them and they feel very soft. We look forward to staying dry on our trip! Sallie Nealand

Wonderful product! I live on a River Yacht and use this to water proof the upper decks canvas. I follow the directions for the washer and have not had any problems with the product and the results are fantastic. I have recomended it to several other boaters.

very good so far The application was easy. We mixed the Nikwax with the recommended amount of water and painted the solution on an untreated canvas fabric. So far the product has worked very well. There was a slight chalk like residue once the waterproofing had dried. But, other than this minor byproduct, the product seems to work as advertised.

A great way to waterproof those winter parkas Many winter parkas have an exterior of cotton that is fine for snow only, but when the weather warms the snow melts and soaks that fine parka. Nikwax eliminates that problem in a very simple way.

Great Product I followed the instructions and the product works as expected. TIPS: instead of washing and draining the solution in a washing machine, I saved the solution (right after it was drained from the washing machine) for reuse on the second batch! Think recycle, folks!
Isn't that great?

Great product! I used this on my old shoes, shirts, and hats. Basically, it works! Especially, this is useful to make your hats and caps resistant to water.

Surprising results This was my first year sewing outerwear and waterproofing, or at least water resistance, is a necessity.
I used the product on heavy cotton twill, denim and canvas coats - all with good results being reported. The canvas was black so while there were initially white streaks left by this product, they appear to have faded or rubbed off after a little handling (it hasn't been worn yet so I believe the residue came off easily).
The kids have been out in the rain and mud a few times now with their coats and no complaints thus far. It was difficult finding a product such as this for cotton fabrics and I'm glad it is working so well.
I say this is a good purchase for the buck considering how difficult it is to find/order natural fiber waterproofing.

Great Stuff! Use this on an old, comfortable, cotton jacket. Wear the jacket when they tell you it might rain. Look cool (no overkill raincoat) if it doesn't rain, stay warm and dry if it does. The old jacket becomes your "stealth" rain gear.

It's like having a new coat I have a great raincoat I bought in Paris. I found out during the winter in Seattle it was not waterproof. I used Nikwax cotton proof on it at 2/3 strength, and it's like having a new raincoat.
I don't usually sound like an ad for a product, but this stuff is great!

Product worked very well Just returned from Australia and New Zealand. Used Cotton Proof before we left and it worked great.
