brings back the loft better then new
I bought this hoping that it would bring back the loft in my north face summit down jacket. Which was washed with normal detergent and never regained it's orignal loft. So I ordered nikwax hoping it would resore the loft, which it did and it looks like it has more then when i bought the jacket.Oh and it cleans the jacket as well.

Excellent care for your favorite down bag
I have recently used this cleaner on my 0 degree winter bag. (and it was very dirty and odorous) After following the directions the bag came out smelling nice without any noticeable dirt marks. I used a commercial front loading washer and I hung it until it dried. Very good product, I have not noticed any decrease in loft.

Amazing!
I actually used the Down Wash Fabric Care on some down pillows. It improved the loft in them considerably. Next, I intend to use it on some down vests. If it works as well on them, I will be very pleased. Thanks for a great product.

Fast, easy,great service
This was my first time ordering from Altrec and I couldn't be happier with the prompt service and ease of ordering. I've already recommended the site to others. Absolutely first rate!

Great
This "stuff" is great. I washed a queen sized down comforter and a down coat and they both came out great. Saved $50 at least. Don't be afraid to try it. Just throw in a couple of tennis balls in the dryer to help fluff the down. The yellow from the tennis balls does not come off on the clothes in the dryer.

Good Product!
Cleaned my down jacket well and definitely brought back the volume in the down insulation. The jacket is warmer now, then when I bought it new.
