## Nikwax Rug Proof Wash In Waterproofing

Nikwax Rug Proof Wash in Waterproofing for Horse Rugs  
  
Nikwax Rug Proof adds Durable Water Repellency (DWR) whilst maintaining breathability. It is quick and easy to apply in the washing machine, and its DWR develops on air drying.  
  
Nikwax Rug Wash has been specifically designed and optimised for breathable waterproof animal rugs and coats. It leaves a flexible water repellent treatment on individual fibres allowing moisture vapour to pass through, maintaining breathability, while protecting your animal from getting wet in the rain.  
  
Finally, washing machine application ensures that the treatment goes right through the rug or coat, treating seams, tapes and cords, as well as the fabric.  
  
Using Nikwax Rug Proof in the Washer Machine
