FAQS
What is this product used for?
Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash is a specialist cleaner and UV protector for outdoor fabric gear, including:
- Tents
- Backpacks
- Panniers and duffle bags
- Outdoor fabric covers
- Hammocks (see below!)
It removes dirt and grime while restoring fabric integrity and adding a UV-blocking shield to help prevent weakening from sun exposure. A regular clean with SolarWash can double the lifespan of synthetic gear.
How do I use the product?
For tents, hammocks, and gear:
-
Set up or lay the item flat.
-
Spray evenly onto the fabric surface.
-
Agitate with a soft brush or sponge to loosen dirt.
-
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
-
Allow to air dry completely before packing away.
Tip: Best used before applying Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof to maximize waterproofing and UV protection.
How do I store the product?
- Store upright in a cool, dry place.
- Avoid freezing or high heat.
- Keep cap closed tightly when not in use.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Can I use this on a hammock?
✅ Yes – and it’s a great choice!
Safe for:
- Ripstop Nylon, Parachute Silk, and Polyester Hammocks: This cleaner is ideal for synthetic travel hammocks. It gently lifts dirt while adding UV protection to prevent fading and material weakening.
- Canvas Hammocks: Also safe—effectively cleans heavier woven materials and helps resist sun damage.
⚠️ Use caution with cotton or blended fabric hammocks (like EllTex or Brazilian cotton blends). While safe to clean, the cotton may not absorb UV protectant evenly, and waterproofing benefits may be limited. Always test on a small area first.
