Any cheaper alternatives? it cant be rocket science, someone must bang out a generic...

Is Grangers any cheaper? How come you get through it quickly? You might be able to just wash it rather than using a proofer.

which nikwax - the tech wash or the wash in re-proofer? Not sure about the latter but soap flakes do the job of the former

we just have loads of stuff that I prefer to spray and heat treat/dry.
There's four of us with probably 10-15 garments between us that need treating regularly (i.e. every 3-6 months or so)

Some of it I cant use TX wash in on either.

Wash in soap flakes first that saves a few £s not got round to experimenting with P.V.A for the profing bit yet.
