Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use this cleaning gel on muddy boots?
Rinse boots with clean water to remove loose mud and dampen the surface. Shake the bottle well, then press the sponge applicator to break the seal. Apply generously over dirty areas. For heavy soiling, scrub with a stiff nylon brush like a nail brush. Rinse thoroughly with clean water when finished.
Can I use this on colored boots without fading?
Color may run from some materials. Test the cleaner on a hidden area first to check for color bleeding before applying to visible surfaces.
Should I apply waterproofing after cleaning?
Yes, apply appropriate Nikwax water-based waterproofing or conditioner while the footwear is still damp for best results. Clean boots absorb waterproofing treatments more effectively.
Will this damage my Gore-Tex boots?
No, this cleaner is specifically formulated to be safe for Gore-Tex and other technical membranes. It maintains breathability and water repellency rather than damaging these properties.
