FAQS

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash is a specialist cleaner and UV protector for outdoor fabric gear, including:

-
Agitate with a soft brush or sponge to loosen dirt.
-
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
-
Allow to air dry completely before packing away.

How do I store the product?

- 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.
