It has targeted application where you can just spray directly onto your item where is in the most need of treatment, rather than washing the whole thing. It&#8217;s a simple, quick and easy process that will save you lots of time. It requires less equipment such as the washing machine, it just needs spraying evenly then put out to dry. Finally it&#8217;s perfect for re-proofing on the go. Where ever you are, spray bottles are portable and can be applied at any time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:21% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/llke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/11\/UK-TXDirect-SprayOn-500ML-460px.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11265 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/llke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/11\/UK-TXDirect-SprayOn-500ML-460px.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/llke\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2025\/11\/UK-TXDirect-SprayOn-500ML-460px-196x300.png 196w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Nikwax Spray-On TX Direct&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Adds water repellence to the areas that need it most and revives breathability.
