Rinse with water. It's designed to be safe, but it's best to rinse it off.

Does Nikwax Cotton Proof affect the breathability of the fabric?

No, it maintains the breathability of the treated fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water isn't beading on the fabric after treatment.

Ensure the fabric was cleaned before treatment and dried correctly. Re-treat the item following the instructions, paying close attention to the drying process.

The treated item still absorbs water.

The item may have been heavily soiled before treatment. Clean and retreat the item, or the item may have been worn, requiring a reapplication.

White residue appears on the fabric after treatment.

This may be caused by too much product used, or improper rinsing. Re-wash the item with a small amount of mild detergent, and reapply the Nikwax Cotton Proof more carefully.
