Why Gold Standard? Unlike foam-based shoe cleaners that leave a chalky residue when dry, Gold Standard's solution rinses completely clean with water or a damp microfiber towel. The pH-balanced, natural ingredient formula is tough on dirt and scuffs from daily wear, but gentle enough for delicate materials like suede and nubuck. No harsh chemicals. No bleaching agents. No compromises.
How to use:
- Apply a small amount of solution to a cleaning brush.
- Scrub in circular motions across the upper, focusing on soiled areas.
- Wipe clean with a damp microfiber towel.
- Allow to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Frequently asked questions:
Is this the best shoe cleaner for white sneakers?
Yes. The Gold Standard solution removes yellowing, dirt, and scuffs from white leather and canvas without bleaching or discoloring. For deep oxidation on white rubber soles, apply and let sit for 2 minutes before scrubbing.
Can I use this shoe cleaner on leather?
Yes — the natural formula is safe for full-grain leather, patent leather, and leather-lined uppers. It cleans without stripping natural oils, which is the leading cause of cracking on leather sneakers.
What's the best shoe cleaning solution for suede?
Gold Standard's natural formula is safe for dry-brushed suede. Do not use on dyed suede. Always test a small inconspicuous area first and allow to dry before assessing.
The cleaner your kicks deserve.
