Like a new coat!
I used this Cotton-Proofing on an old poly-cotton winter parka. I made an indentation on the coat and put some water in the indentation before applying the Cotton-Proof treatment. The water mostly stayed outside the coat in the indentation, but the shell was saturated after 5 minutes.
After washing in the Cotton-Proofing into the coat as instructed, I tried the water indentation thing again. Zero water soaked into the shell. The water just sat in the indentation like in a bowl. Small drips of water just beaded up on the coat too.
I don't expect to be able to stay dry in a downpour (but maybe I will). But, Cotton Proofing added a LOT of water resiliency. It also slightly darkened the faded jacket, so it looks a bit newer.
I am totally satisfied with the product.

worked great on my ten man canvas tent. I only wish it would have given you info. on how much it covered before you buy it. I couldnt find anything so I had to guess with 2 bottles and it was way too much. I put it on with a paint brush and by the time I added water to it I had plenty to cover and plenty left over. I didnt even use half the bottle.

weather proofing canvas tents
Our family participates in historical reenacting and we are always looking for great water proofing products. Nikwax cotton proof was easy to use and economical. The water seems to be beading up nicely; can't wait to see how it does out in the field for 2 weeks.

Perfect for the job!
I wanted something to make blue jean fabric water resistant for use outside without leaving the surface greasy or with a strong odor. I also needed a process that was not too lengthy or messy. This product is fantastic! Just wash the item in the washer with the Nikwax solution and then throw item in the dryer for an hour. Leaves no residue in the machines and no smell on the fabric which feels normal but water beads up beautifully.

Used on cotton hat and cotton jacket
Works pretty well. It won't give the total waterproof of say goretex, but you'll stay dry unless it is a downpour. This is the second bottle I've bought, because I like water resisting things I might get caught in a drizzle in. Plus it doesn't change the quality or color of the fabric

Weather proofing
We created some large awnings out of drop-cloth, canvas, and used Nikwax to weather proof and water proof the material. We used the 33oz bottle size. In all we used 5 bottles to weather proof the awnings. this past weekend we had a great deal of rain and there was no leakage. We are pumped and very satisfied with this product. We will use it again and again.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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?

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!

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.
