Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel & Spray Unisex Care

Description

Product Overview

Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel and Fabric & Leather Proof spray are packaged together to provide a complete shoe‑care solution. The 125 ml gel is a high‑performance sponge‑on cleaner formulated for full‑grained leather, suede, nubuck and synthetic uppers. It lifts dirt and grime while preserving existing Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatments. The accompanying 125 ml spray is a water‑based, PFAS‑free waterproofing agent that revitalises breathability and adds a durable, invisible barrier to water, oil and stains. Both products are non‑aerosol, non‑flammable and free from optical brighteners or added fragrance, making them safe for a wide range of footwear.

Usage

These products are designed for everyday maintenance of water‑repellent shoes and boots, including hiking boots, trail runners, city shoes and work footwear. Start by applying the Nikwax Cleaning Gel to a damp sponge or cloth, working it into the material to dissolve dirt. Rinse or wipe away residue, then allow the shoe to dry completely. Follow with an even coat of Fabric & Leather Proof spray, focusing on seams and high‑wear areas. The system works on Gore‑Tex, eVent, BDRY and any combination fabric‑leather construction, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, commuters and professionals who rely on reliable footgear.

FAQ

Can I use the gel on shoes that are already waterproofed?

Yes. The gel is specifically formulated to clean without stripping existing DWR treatments, so you can safely clean and then re‑apply the spray for renewed protection.

How often should I reapply the waterproof spray?

For most active use, reapply after every 8‑10 wear cycles or when you notice water no longer beads on the surface. Heavy exposure to mud or salt may require more frequent treatment.

Is the product safe for colored or delicate fabrics?

Absolutely. The water‑based formula is gentle and does not contain harsh chemicals that could fade or damage delicate materials.

Do I need any special tools to apply the gel?

No special tools are required. A soft sponge, cloth or the provided applicator works perfectly to spread the gel evenly across the shoe surface.

Will the spray affect the breathability of Gore‑Tex?

No. The spray is designed to enhance water repellency while preserving the membrane’s breathability, keeping your feet dry and comfortable.
