Nikwax Tent and Gear SolarWash is a spray on cleaner for weatherproof outdoor equipment textiles, including tents, flysheets, rucksacks and tarps in synthetic fabric, canvas or cotton. It cleans, restores existing water repellency and adds UV protection, which is the part that matters for anything left pitched in the sun.

• The only Nikwax cleaner with UV protection: sunlight is what actually destroys a flysheet over time, and this slows that down.
• A cleaner, not a waterproofer: the partner proofer is Tent and Gear SolarProof, and the two are also sold as a pair.
• For synthetics, canvas and cotton: one cleaner covers the whole range of tent and pack fabrics.
• Spray on, wet or dry: spray, rub in with a damp cloth and rinse, with no requirement to wet the fabric first.
• Published coverage: about 50 ml per square metre, so 500 ml treats roughly 10 square metres.
• Water based: non flammable, non aerosol and free of PFC chemistry.
