Cleaning & Proofing Products

Keep Your Gear in Tip‑Top Shape

When you invest in top‑quality workwear, you’re not just buying a jacket or a pair of trousers – you’re buying protection, comfort and durability that stand up to the toughest British weather. The secret to getting every penny’s worth? Proper care.

At Radmore & Tucker we’ve hand‑picked an elite range of Cleaning & Proofing Products from industry legends such as Nikwax, Pfanner and Arbortec. These aren’t just any wash‑ins – they’re scientifically formulated treatments that clean, restore water‑repellency and keep leather supple without compromising breathability.

Why Use Specialist Cleaners?

• Extend Lifespan: A well‑maintained garment can outlive its warranty by years, saving you money in the long run.
• Maintain Performance: Dirt, oil and salts eat away at DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finishes. Our cleaners strip contaminants while re‑activating the fabric’s built‑in protection.
• Preserve Breathability: Unlike harsh detergents that seal pores, our products work with the fibre structure to keep you cool on a sunny day and dry in a downpour.

What We Offer

Each item in our collection has been tested against the harshest UK conditions – from the salty air of the coast to the muddy fields of the Midlands. The result? A line‑up that not only cleans but proofs your gear, ensuring you stay dry, comfortable and ready for anything.

How It Works – In Plain English

1. Load: Toss your garment into the washing machine (or use a basin for hand‑wash items).
2. Measure: Follow the dosage guide based on water hardness – we’ve printed it right on the bottle!
3. Wash: Use a gentle synthetic cycle, 30 °C, low spin.
4. Rinse & Dry: Rinse thoroughly and tumble‑dry on a low setting or air‑dry as per the care label.

That’s it – no guesswork, no specialised equipment. Just simple steps that deliver professional‑grade results at home.

Deep Dive into Our Star Performers

Nikwax Tech Wash – The Powerhouse Cleaner

If you’ve ever wrestled with a stubborn stain on a waterproof jacket, you’ll know the frustration of a product that promises results but delivers disappointment. Nikwax Tech Wash flips the script.

• Double‑Action Formula: A new‑generation surfactant system lifts grime while simultaneously re‑activating the DWR coating – meaning you can stretch the interval between full re‑proofs by up to 50 %.
• Water‑Hardness Adaptable: The bottle includes a handy chart; simply adjust the dose for soft, medium or hard water and you’ll get consistent performance every wash.
• Fabric‑Friendly: No harsh chemicals that degrade membranes – Tech Wash works with Gore‑Tex®, eVent® and other breathable laminates to keep them breathable and waterproof.

How to Use:

1. Load a maximum of two garments per machine (to ensure thorough agitation).
2. Add the recommended amount of Tech Wash – typically 50 ml for soft water, up to 100 ml for hard water.
3. Run a gentle synthetic cycle at 30 °C, slow spin.
4. Rinse well and tumble‑dry low or air‑dry.
