Nikwax Rug Proof – Restore Waterproof Protection & Breathability

Your blankets work hard. Help them work better.
Nikwax Rug Proof™ is a high-performance, wash-in waterproofer specially formulated to restore the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and breathability of all waterproof horse blankets, turnout rugs, and pet beds.

Whether you're dealing with wet weather, heavy use, or end-of-season maintenance, this treatment ensures your gear stays breathable, weatherproof, and built to perform.

Why Choose Nikwax Rug Proof?

• 💧 Revives water repellency and prevents fabric from “wetting out”

• 🌬️ Maintains breathability for horse comfort in damp or rainy conditions

• 🧺 Easy wash-in application – works in your washing machine

• 🌿 PFC-free, non-flammable, and environmentally safe

• ✅ Trusted by leading blanket brands like Rambo® and WeatherBeeta

When to Use:

If your blanket is no longer beading water or feels heavy and damp after rain, it's time to reproof. Use Nikwax Rug Wash™ first to clean, then follow with Rug Proof™ to fully restore waterproofing and breathability.

How It Works:

• Treats all parts of the rug, including seams and stitching

• Air-dry activated—no heat setting required

• Forms a flexible, water-repellent finish on each fibre

• Ensures moisture vapor can escape, preventing clammy buildup inside the blanket

Eco-Conscious Formula

Nikwax Rug Proof™ is a water-based, non-toxic, non-aerosol formula made without harsh chemicals or PFCs. It's safe for your animals, safe for you, and safe for the planet.

Pro Tip:

Use at least once a season or after periods of heavy use. Regular cleaning and reproofing can double the life of your turnout gear.
