Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel is a sponge on cleaner for all waterproof and waterproof breathable footwear, in fabric, leather, nubuck or suede. It removes the dirt and contamination that stop water beading off, which restores the repellency the boot already has. It does not add waterproofing.

• A cleaner, not a proofer: this is step one of a two step system, and the boot still needs a proofer afterwards depending on its material.
• Works on every boot material: fabric, smooth leather, nubuck, suede and combination boots all take the same gel.
• Restores existing water repellency: dirt is what makes a boot wet out, so cleaning it properly brings the beading back.
• Revives breathability: it clears the pores of the membrane rather than sealing them.
• Applied to wet footwear: dampen the boots, scrub with the applicator, rinse, and proof while still damp.
• 125 ml, water based: non flammable, non aerosol and free of PFC chemistry.
