I use Nikwax at the moment as Tesco were selling litre bottles of both green soapy stuff and the bluey purple waterproofer stuff.
I just lob the garment in the washing machine with a dose of the green in the wash and a dose of the blue in the fabric conditioner section - seems to work. Garment clean, fresh smelling and the outer fabric beads water.
When my green is depleted I will go full cheapskate and use the only equivalent of Lux flakes I could find, Wilko Liquid Soap Flakes.
