Review: Nikwax Base Wash - I bought this product to remove an odor from my Keen Newport sandals (waterproof leather ~$100 per pair for those not familiar, so don't just want to throw them out). The sandals became so foul smelling this year that I couldn't stand to wear them - especially if in a closed area like a car or indoors. I had already tried washing them with regular detergent multiple times, putting them outside (100 degree + weather) to try and "air them out", and waiting a week or two for the smell to subside....the smell got a little better, but there was still a lingering odor, and as soon as I wore them once, they were as offensive as before they had been washed. After searching all over the web for ideas, talking to others who had Keen sandals and finally contacting Keen (manufacturer of the sandals), I learned about this product. It was actually recommended by Keen as one of the ways to remove the odor. The product was hard to find locally (actually impossible and I live in a VERY large metro area w/ several million people within 30 minutes in every direction), so I checked desertcart and they had it. I ordered it and used it on both pair of sandals and it worked as advertised. The odor was completely gone and has stayed away for about a month now. I wear one of the two pair almost daily, so it definitely helped. My son plays football and had some receiver gloves that had an equally offensive odor to foot odor (actually worse), so I tried it on them....worked again, although the stink only stayed gone a week or so....they need to be washed again. Since it worked on that, I tried it on his neoprene sleeve that covers his helmet chinstrap...worked again. I would say it should work on anything that comes in contact with your skin and absorbs sweat / bacteria, resulting in an offensive odor. It's worked on everything I've tried it on so far anyway. Overall, great product. Only complaints are the price for such a small amount of it - wish it were available in a larger container and not as expensive (it takes 1/2 bottle to wash the sandals once) and the difficulty finding it (not available locally so you almost have to buy online and pay shipping). ## Features - Specialty cleaner designed to deodorize and enhance the wicking and drying performance of baselayers. - Easy to use wash-in cleaner that cleans effectively, eliminates odors, and improves cooling efficiency - Accelerates drying and improves wicking and breathability of active wear or workout clothing - Recommended for synthetic base layers, socks and next-to-skin garments such as Under Armour and Dri-FIT - Nikwax products are PFAS-free, water based, non-persistent, and contain no optical brighteners or added scent; machine wash safe ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0011UH5VU | | Best Sellers Rank | #73,783 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #393 in Liquid Laundry Detergent | | Brand | Nikwax | | Brand Name | Nikwax | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 455 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00703861002601, 05020716141007 | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Apparel Aftercare | | Item Volume | 300 ml | | Item Weight | 350 g | | Manufacturer | Nikwax | | Material Feature | Water-Based Cleaner | | Material Features | Water-Based Cleaner | | Material Type Free | PFAS-Free | | Model Number | 143 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | NKW0160 | | Product Benefits | High Performance Cleaner | | Scent | Unscented | | Size | 33.8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Specific Uses For Product | High Performance Cleaner | | UPC | 703861002786 703861002601 | | Unit Count | 33.8 Fluid Ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nikwax - **Item Form:** Liquid - **Material Type Free:** PFAS-Free - **Scent:** Unscented - **Unit Count:** 33.8 Fluid Ounces ## Images ![BaseWash - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71m10-XKwRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product brand recommended.

I run several days a week and my base layer pants and tops always have a funk in certain areas that just wouldn’t go away. I would pre-treat and scrub the problem areas before normal washes but the stench was still there just masked with the scent of detergent. I ran across this product on a YouTube channel for trail running and figured I would given it a try. I read the good and bad reviews and decided to take a chance. It WORKED! I followed the instructions and washed my clothes in WARM water (even if the tag said cold) and they came out like new! No more funky scents! Completely gone! As for the product scent itself, it smells like a cleaning product with a small hint of lemon IMO. It’s completely tolerable and it beats the funk ANY day. If you want to continue to wear your gear, this is a great investment. I was considering throwing some of my base layers away, but now they are saved! ## Frequently Bought Together - Nikwax BaseWash - Nikwax Tech Wash 34 fl. oz., Nikwax Tech Wash Technical Cleaner for Jackets and Outerwear, Restores Waterproofing in Rain, Ski, and Snow Gear, Safe for Gore-Tex and DWR - Nikwax Wool Wash, 1000ml, Specialty Cleaner for Merino Wool Socks, Base Layers, Beanies, Gloves, Shirts, Clothing, Blankets --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://macau.desertcart.com/products/4785551-basewash](https://macau.desertcart.com/products/4785551-basewash) --- *Product available on Desertcart Macau* *Store origin: MO* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
