Use Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof when your footwear soaks up water...
Your footwear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalized just from cleaning. But, once the footwear has been thoroughly worn you will need to add DWR, using Nikwax Nubuck & Suede Proof™, after cleaning first with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™.
Cleaning properly can be as important as waterproofing…
Using the right cleaning product is as important as using the right waterproofing product. Conventional detergents leave behind a thin water-absorbent film on materials, which masks their Durable Water Repellency (DWR). Therefore, always clean your waterproof footwear with Nikwax Footwear Cleaning Gel™. Remember that dirt itself works against DWR, so regular cleaning will enhance performance.
IMPORTANT: Shake bottle before use. Always clean first using Nikwax® Footwear Cleaning Gel.
Sponge:
- Protect work surface from potential overspray.
- Dab sponge to release product. Apply to clean, wet footwear from a distance of 15cm. Ensure penetration along seams.
- After 2 minutes remove excess with a cloth.
- Allow to dry naturally before use.
Spray:
- Protect work surface from potential overspray.
- Apply to clean, wet footwear from a distance of 15cm. Ensure penetration along seams.
- After 2 minutes remove excess with a cloth.
- Allow to dry naturally before use.
Note: Light/coloured nubuck or suede may darken after treatment. Test on a hidden area first.
Always allow footwear to dry naturally…
- Leave footwear to dry at room temperature.
- Paper can be stuffed into the toes to absorb excess moisture, this should be replaced when wet.
- Keep footwear away from fires and radiators, drying too quickly can crack leather and cause bonded soles to peel.
