Cleaning Gel for Footwear Nikwax Spray 300 ml - Nikwax NI-824

Nikwax Cleaning Gel for Footwear is a 300 ml spray gel formulated to remove dirt and grime from outdoor and everyday shoes while being gentle on materials. The product is suitable for a wide range of footwear types including leather, synthetic and fabric uppers, and works on both uppers and soles. The gel texture helps the cleaning solution cling to vertical surfaces and detailed areas, allowing effective cleaning without over-wetting or abrasive action. This makes it appropriate as a preparatory step before applying waterproofing or protective treatments.

Advantages

The cleaning gel is formulated to lift dirt and deposits from different shoe materials without causing damage to leather, synthetics or textiles. Its spray-gel consistency ensures even coverage and reduces runoff, allowing targeted cleaning of seams, stitch lines and sole edges. Because it cleans effectively while remaining material-safe, it helps maintain the look and function of footwear and supports the performance of subsequent protective treatments.

Suitable for

• Cleaning outdoor hiking boots and trail shoes
• Refreshing everyday leather or synthetic shoes
• Preparing footwear for waterproofing or protective applications
• Removing dirt from soles and midsole areas

How to use

Shake the can well before use. Apply the spray gel evenly to soiled areas from a recommended distance, ensuring coverage of uppers and sole junctions. Work the gel into the material gently with a soft brush or cloth to lift dirt. Wipe away loosened dirt and excess product with a clean damp cloth and allow the footwear to dry naturally away from direct heat. For heavily soiled areas, repeat the process until the desired cleanliness is achieved. After drying, treat with an appropriate waterproofing or protection product if required.

Usage recommendations

Test on a small inconspicuous area before full application to confirm material compatibility. Avoid contact with delicate trims or decorative elements that may be sensitive to solvents. Use in a well-ventilated area and store the product upright at moderate temperatures.
