Product Insights
Grangers' 2-in-1 waterproofer and cleaner streamlines care for down and synthetic insulated gear with one wash cycle that saves time and energy, using a pH 5.0 formula to protect loft and a heat-activated DWR that is safe on GORE-TEX and eVent. However, buyers report reduced breathability on down and recommend a separate spray DWR for hardshell jackets. This first-of-its-kind product, rooted in a heritage of Everest and WWII protection, is now PFAS-free, Bluesign-certified, and packaged in 100% recycled UK-made bottles.
Verified claims
- DWR performance
- Restores water repellency on down and synthetic insulation; buyers recommend separate wash and spray DWR for maximum durability and breathability on technical shells.
- Efficiency
- One-cycle wash saves time and energy; Nikwax requires a separate proofing step.
- Insulated jacket performance
- Suitable for synthetic insulated jackets and restores water repellency; some users caution that breathability may be reduced on down garments compared to separate wash and spray.
- Application process
- The 2-in-1 cleans and proofs in one cycle; a low-heat tumble dry gives the most durable water repellency, while air-drying still leaves a working finish but not maximum durability.
- pH formula
- pH 5.0 formula preserves down loft by avoiding alkaline damage.
- Bluesign
- Bluesign-certified: chemical input screening + on-site audits.
- Eco-credentials
- Own factory; 100% recycled bottle; 2-in-1 cuts water/energy.
- Heritage
- Grangers' waterproofing protected the first Everest expedition and WWII tents.
- Innovation
- First 2-in-1 down wash in the world, still unique.
- Environmental credentials
- PFAS-free since 2020, bluesign system partner, 100% recycled bottle.
- Heat activation
- Low-to-medium tumble drying or direct heat produces the most durable DWR; air-drying still leaves a working repellent finish but not the extra durability heat provides.
- Loft care
- Dryer balls restore down loft after washing; the pH 5.0 formula and 2-in-1 cycle preserve loft over time.
- Down treatment
- 2-in-1 cleaner+water-repellent for down; one wash cycle with Down Repel; heat-activated; the first 2-in-1 product (2005).
- Fabric care
- pH-balanced formula preserves down loft and is safe on GORE-TEX and eVent.
- Wash process
- One wash cycle cleans and proofs, halving wash-dry passes.
- DWR treatment
- Heat-activation sets a durable water repellent; safe for GORE-TEX and eVent.
- Product origin
- Made in UK from 100% recycled bottle
- Certifications
- bluesign system partner with on-site audits and QR-verified claims from 2026
- Environmental impact
- PFAS-free and one-cycle formula cuts water and energy use by half
- High-fill-power down safety
- Safe for high-fill-power down, including 800+ fill goose down; cleans and restores water repellency without damaging delicate down clusters.
- Down Repel additive
- Proprietary Down Repel additive bonds to down clusters during the wash to repel water and prevent clumping when wet, a treatment Nikwax Down Wash does not provide.
- Comforter suitability
- Grangers 2-In-1 Waterproofing Cleaner For Down is safe for machine-washable down comforters and duvets, not just jackets and sleeping bags. Scale the dose to 100ml for the duvet plus 50ml for each additional item, wash at 30°C/86°F, and tumble dry low with dryer balls to redistribute the fill.
- Bottle size and coverage
- This listing is the 300 ml bottle, and at the 100 ml per item dose it treats roughly three down jackets or three sleeping bags' worth of washes; add 50 ml for each extra item in the same load.

Wash and reproof down gear in one step
Grangers 2-In-1 Waterproofing Cleaner For Down is made for natural or synthetic down items, including sleeping bags and other insulated gear. In a single wash cycle at 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) or per the care label, it cleans the item and adds a durable water-repellent treatment at the same time, so there is no separate proofing step.[3,4,8,9]
Wash and re-waterproof down gear in one step
Use this cleaner when a down jacket, vest, or other natural or synthetic down item needs both a wash and a fresh water-repellent treatment, since it cleans and proofs down in a single cycle. Grangers states its Down Repel technology is designed to repel water and help prevent down from clumping when wet. Note that the repellent treatment requires heat activation afterward, such as low-heat tumble drying.[1,2,4,8]
Wash and re-proof down gear in one cycle
Use this 2-in-1 cleaner and water-repellent treatment to wash down items like jackets and bedding while restoring water repellency in the same wash cycle. Because cleaning and proofing happen together, it takes less time than washing and proofing separately, so your down gear is ready to head back outside sooner. Per the maker, the one-cycle approach also means less impact on the environment.[4,5,8]
Refreshing down gear to bring back loft
When a down jacket or sleeping bag has gone flat after wear, Grangers' 2-in-1 Waterproofing Cleaner for Down is designed to wash and restore loft in one step. The brand also says it improves volume and helps maximise the life of your warm clothes. It cleans while maintaining water repellency, so gear comes out ready for the next cold outing.[2,8,9]
Washing down gear while restoring water repellency
A two-in-one option for when a down jacket, sleeping bag, or other gear needs a clean and a fresh layer of water repellency in the same wash. It is recommended for all waterproof and breathable fabrics, including GORE-TEX, and its stated best use also covers eVent linings as well as down and synthetic down gear.[4,8]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| 2-In-1 Waterproofing Cleaner For Down: Choose this if you want to clean and re-waterproof natural or synthetic down items—such as insulated garments and sleeping bags—in a single wash cycle, with the brand stating it restores loft and adds a durable water-repellent treatment. Washing is done on a full cycle at 30°C (86°F) or per the care label, and note that heat activation is required afterward: tumble dry on low-medium heat or apply heat with an iron or hairdryer. The 300 ml (10 fl oz) bottle is 100% post-consumer recycled plastic, the product is bluesign-certified, and Grangers removed PFAS from all its products in 2020.[2,3,4,7,8,9] | 2-In-1 Waterproofing Cleaner: Choose this if you want to clean and re-waterproof waterproof or breathable garments, including Gore-Tex, in a single wash. The treatment needs heat to activate fully—Grangers recommends a low-temperature tumble dryer or ironing afterward—and one user found the DWR bounced back on medium dryer heat across synthetics, though not down items, and noted results can vary. The formula is PFC-free and comes in a 100% recycled bottle, with the 300 ml size covering about 5 jackets.[6,10,11,12,13] |

Some users report it works well and is convenient, while others caution against 2-in-1 products for technical shells and question its effect on breathability and suitability for down.

Watch Out For
Compared To
vs Grangers separate Performance Wash and Repel Plus
Separate products are preferred for better DWR performance, especially on shells, while 2-in-1 is seen as a convenient but less optimal alternative.

Positive experience with Grangers 2-in-1 on synthetic jackets
I’ve washed the atom, beta AR, Squamish hoodie, Nodin, Patagonia nanopuff, basically most of them short of ones containing down with grangers 2 in 1. I’ve found it works great. DWR spruces right back up in the dryer on medium heat. Ymmv however, Goodluck!

Recommendation to use separate wash and spray instead of 2-in-1
Get grangers tech wash and spray on dwr. Wash in dwr isn’t great especially not for shells
u/Expensive_Profit_106r/PatagoniaClothingView thread →
2-in-1 is acceptable but spray allows targeted application
2-in-1 is probably fine (and very likely won't do any harm), but I've started using the spray as opposed to a wash for the DWR. That allows me to really concentrate the spray in areas that get more wear.
