It does not soften the fabric or adds any fragrance.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the clean, I also use the waterproofing to return the original waterproofing back. Fair warning and make sure to follow the directions.<\/p>\n<p>Using the tech wash followed by softshell proof will restore your pack and help you remember why you chose it in the first place. Please note, it will not repair the zipper or patch holes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ss&amp;ref=as_ss_li_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=edealo09-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B000PGS254&amp;asins=B000PGS254&amp;linkId=6abe581e6ae5527348a1f105e676dd75&amp;show_border=true&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=true\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20334\" src=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey-498x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey-498x1024.jpg 498w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey-746x1536.jpg 746w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey-150x309.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey-300x617.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey-696x1432.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey-204x420.jpg 204w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/osprey.jpg 972w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nikwax has been my choice of cleaning my backpack for over 10 years.
