Three steps. Sixty seconds.
No water needed-
01
Pump
Two pumps of foam across the dirty area. Don't soak it — the formula does not need to be drowned.

02
Wait ten
It lifts the grime off the fibre so you're not grinding dirt back in. This is the part people skip.

Wipe
Dry cloth, paper towel, old t-shirt. Whatever's near. No rinse, no drying rack, no waiting.
Drag it yourself
One pass · unretouchedBought it for my kid's school shoes and now use it more than she does. No bucket, no drying overnight.
Sambas · suedeDidn't touch the crease marks, which they say up front. Dirt is gone though, and that's what I paid for.

Salt is the oldest thing that ever cleaned anything.
Not in the bottle — it's the bar the bottle is held to. Plain, proven, does one job without a ceremony. I spent two years buying sneaker kits with four bottles, three brushes and a pamphlet, and using exactly one of them.
So we made the one. If it doesn't do what this page says on your shoe, we refund you and you keep it — sending a $24 bottle back costs everyone more than it's worth.
Questions people actually ask
Will it wreck suede?
No, but treat it gently: spray lightly, blot with a dry cloth, don't scrub in circles. Suede takes two light passes rather than one heavy one.
Does it fix yellowed soles?
Partly, and we'd rather say so than oversell. Surface yellowing from dirt comes up. Oxidised rubber that's been going yellow since 2014 is a chemical change — no spray reverses that.
Do I need water or a bucket?
No. Pump, wait ten seconds, wipe with anything dry. That's the whole point of the bottle.
How many cleans in one bottle?
Around 40 full pairs at two pumps per dirty area. Heavy canvas cleaning uses more; a quick midsole wipe uses almost nothing.
What's the refund actually like?
Email us a photo within 30 days, we refund the full order that day, and you keep the bottle. Return shipping on a $24 item costs more than the item.
Is it safe around kids and pets?
pH 7.2, no bleach, no dyes, no fragrance. Safe on hands. Don't drink it — it's still a cleaner.
How does the $10 gift card for clips work?
Send us a video of your own pair being cleaned and tick the posting permission. We review every clip; if it's usable — clear before, clear after, your own shoes — we email a $10 Amazon gift card within 48 hours. One per customer. It's a real gift card, not store credit.
If it doesn't clean your shoe, keep the bottle.
