Nikwax® Rug Wash™

Nikwax® Rug Wash™ is an easy to use natural vegetable-based soap cleaner, and is a safe way to thoroughly clean your waterproof animal rugs and coats to help optimise their performance and extend their useable life.

If the breathability of your rug is impaired, your animal can get clammy and uncomfortable in wet or damp conditions, and if the outer fabric begins to absorb water, the rug can lose up to 70% of its breathability. The Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of the outer fabric of the rug needs to be maintained for your animals comfort. Using Nikwax® Rug Wash™ will revitalise the DWR and therefore the breathability of your animals rug.
