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.

Let customers speak for us
This was my first hammock. And I am still using and abusing it 😂
It’s super strong, light weight. It’s survived heigh winds, accidental 50°c washing machine adventure, and it’s provided me some epic moments in the wild and wonderful.
A must have!!
Very pleased with my purchase, it arrived next day, and was put to immediate use.nice material and well made.
Our 2nd hammock after 20 years ( the first was identical and we loved it so much we just wanted the same again) . Very sturdy and a relaxing place to chill out. Perfect
This is our second one of these. The first lasted four years and would have lived longer had we treated it better and not left it out in all sorts of weather when we weren’t using it. At that time we also bought the frame, which is still going strong having had a rub down and some varnish.
Ordering on the website was a breeze and the folks were wonderful in communicating each step of progress after they received the order.
Quick delivery and in perfect condition. Here’s to at least another four years of use.
Thoroughly recommended.
The chair, stand, and pillows are quality items (not to mention really beautiful). There was some confusion with shipping the three items, but customer service was easy to work with and corrected the issue quickly and professionally. Excellent purchase and great company to do business with!
Nice and neat for my Globo chair
