To use, remove shoelaces before cleaning, if required. Brush off any loose dirt or debris. Spray directly onto the areas you wish to clean, then wipe off with a wet, clean cloth. Allow to dry naturally. Designed to clean and remove odors without aggressively affecting the DWR (durable water repellent) finish featured on most technical gear, this cleaner is a great way to keep your gear clean and well maintained after regular use. It's ideal for cleaning footwear prior to waxing or spray proofing and for removing patches of dirt from waterproof clothing that doesn't justify a full machine wash. Grangers Gear Cleaner is suitable for use on all types of clothing, footwear, and equipment, including anything with a Gore-Tex® or eVent membrane. It is also ideal for preparing a garment for fresh waterproofing treatments. Formulated to clean all garments and gear, it protects existing water-repellent finishes. This is a bluesign system approved product.
This guide is for anyone looking to effectively clean and maintain their footwear and gear. The Grangers Footwear Gear Cleaner removes dirt, grime, and odors, helping to extend the life of your equipment. A key consideration is that while it is designed to be gentle, it's always best to test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
