Grangers
2-In-1 Waterproofing Cleaner For Down
Granger's Wash + Repel Down 2-in-1 is a combined cleaner and durable water repellent treatment designed for natural and synthetic down items, including insulated jackets and sleeping bags. It restores loft and adds water repellency in one step, with activation in the dryer at low temperature for optimal performance. Suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics like GORE-TEX, this bluesign-certified product is made in the UK, comes in a 100% recycled 300ml bottle, and user reviews highlight its convenience for synthetic insulation, though some recommend separate wash and spray products for maximum DWR durability on technical shells.

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

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.
