When your waterproof footwear begins to absorb water, Use Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel

The absorption of water by your waterproof footwear could simply be due to it being dirty. With use, the exterior of the footwear collects contaminants, such as dirt, which attract water. This conceals the effectiveness of any Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating, resulting in the footwear absorbing water in wet or damp conditions.

Cleaning your waterproof footwear with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel will eliminate contaminants like dirt and revitalise the DWR, enabling water to once again form beads on the outer surface.

Ensure you clean with the appropriate product. Standard footwear cleaners can leave a water-attracting (hydrophilic) residue, which obscures the Durable Water Repellency (DWR). This causes the footwear’s materials to absorb water and become saturated in damp or wet conditions. Therefore, these should be avoided when cleaning waterproof footwear.

Use Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel for a safe and thorough clean of your waterproof footwear, to revitalise DWR and breathability.

No need to re-waterproof with every clean…

Regular cleaning will boost the performance of your footwear by removing water-attracting (hydrophilic) dirt and other contaminants acquired during wear. Cleansing with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel will rejuvenate your footwear’s Durable Water Repellency (DWR), causing water to bead on the outer surface. Should Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel alone not revitalise your footwear’s DWR, it then becomes necessary to re-waterproof using the suitable Nikwax footwear waterproofer.
