Nikwax Spray Cleaner for Leather and Leather Accessories Leather Cleaner 300ml

Your waterproof leather gear could be soaking up water just because it is dirty. Through use, the outer surface of leather gear will pick up contaminants, such as dirt, which attract water. This masks the effect of any Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating, leading to the leather absorbing water and “wetting out” in wet or damp conditions.

Cleaning waterproof leather gear with Nikwax Leather Cleaner^™ will not only remove contaminants, such as dirt, but also revitalise DWR, causing water to bead on the outer surface once more.

Make sure you clean with the right product...

Traditional leather treatment products, such as saddle soap, are often intended to clean, condition and soften leather. In reality their cleaning is compromised as dirt is moved around on the leather during application, but not adequately rinsed away. Additionally, such products often contain animal based ingredients, these can encourage microbial growth and in turn lead to the degradation of leather.

Conventional household cleaning products can leave behind a water attractive (hydrophilic) residue which masks the Durable Water Repellency (DWR), causing leather to absorb water and ‘wet out’ in damp or wet conditions. Therefore they need to be avoided when cleaning waterproof leather gear.

Use Nikwax Leather Cleaner^™ to thoroughly clean your waterproof leather gear, revitalise DWR and breathability.

You don’t need to re-waterproof every time you clean...

Regular cleaning will enhance the performance of your leather gear by removing water-attracting (hydrophilic) dirt and other contaminants picked up when out and about. Cleaning using Nikwax Leather Cleaner^™ will revitalise the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) of your leather gear, causing water to bead on the outer surface once more. When Nikwax Leather Cleaner^™ alone does not revitalise the DWR of your leather gear it’s time to re-waterproof using Nikwax Leather Restorer^™.
