Nikwax

Nikwax Down Wash works well on my down jacket and small down comforter. There are no harsh detergents to destroy the natural down. Nikwax Tech Wash is good for my waterproof garments and horse blankets because it doesn't destroy the waterproofing.

I have pretty much lived out of my down sleeping bag for the last seven years and have had to wash it without a good down wash in the past which was the best I could under the circumstances. I was glad to see that it was offered on Zappos. The Nixwax down wash and down proof is pretty straight forward on its use. The bag smelled great when it was done and didn't have that damp down smell even...just smelled clean. The down proof gave a nice luster to the bag and it looked good as new considering the use it has seen. Very happy overall. The down proof is bottle is only enough for one wash of a 2-3 season bag if I remember correctly. I had enough of the down wash for two washings. So, this combo is more for a one time wash on a 2-3 season bag.

The best - This is by far the best product I have used. I use it on my scarpa sl m3 and it makes them look better than they did they day I bought them. Extremely waterproofing.

Rather have a spray - This item really does not clean. It just makes the suede darker. Plus, it’s too hard to apply the water repellent with the sponge evenly. A spray works so much better. I finally gave up and got the spray protector from the store. A huge disappointment.

Great waterproofing - The product works as advertised. My Scarpa boots look great and water beads on the shoe surface. Even more amazing was that the paid shipping arrived in twenty-four hours.

Effective product - I was looking for a suede cleaning product, and since I love shopping at Zappos, I went on a live chat. The agent did not disappoint, he immediately recommended the product he thought was the best. He was right. It was easy to use and did clean off all the stains and black marks from my puma shoes. Very effective product and excellent service by Zappos.

GAVE A 2nd LIFE TO MY SHOES - After getting caught in a torrential storm and tromping through mud in my brand new $325 Mephisto "Lannys", I thought they were destined for the trash heap... Soooo, I bought this product as a last resort... My "Lannys" now look like new... I also like that it's not a spray product for a myriad of reasons (environment friendly, non-allergic, easier to use, etc., etc...)

Not ideal for nubuck sandals - Possibly these products are good if you have a lot of area to clean, but all I wanted to do was spot clean some fairly thin strapped sandals and weatherproof them. The tip is kinda bulky for spot cleaning and as far as weatherproofing, I don't understand why the instructions say to clean the leather with a damp cloth before proofing them. It made me very uncomfortable to be putting water on my shoes. Everything is okay, I guess, but I got one spot on them that wasn't there before. I don't exactly know how, but I think it was created from either the product or sometime during the damp cloth wiping that is required for use of both products.

Nikwax Protector and Cleaner - I was glad to be able to order these along with my son's sneaker order. He is in college and does not like to wear boots in messy weather. He sprayed the sneakers before he even left the apartment! It was kind of hard to find this product on the website.

Fine product - Works, easy to clean after and to apply, ecological, no fumes or horrible smells. A little expensive. The cleaning gel was not sealed when received.

Really great stuff; works like a charm - These two worked wonders. I wouldn't be sure how they would work alone since I used them together (washed jacket with down wash, then with down proof, then dried the jacket in the dryer). Be sure to follow instructions exactly. My jacket is fluffy, clean (mysterious dirt and stains disappeared) and now rain water will "bead" off of it. Doesn't make the item waterproof, just a good water resistance.

Be careful of the type of leather you use this on!I used this cleaner on my leather Sentra boots; it removed the antiqued finish and completely rubbed the leather polish off. I had to take these to a professional boot repair shop and thank GOD they were able to restore them. These were $400 boots that were almost ruined! Tip: stick with good old fashioned leather conditioner and forget about the cleaner on your expensive cowboy boots.

I bought this product thinking that it was a spray. It's not. It's a sponge on protectant that is actually very hard to apply and a bit messy--especially on slouch boots. But it does seem to work pretty well. I'm a little disappointed that Zappos doesn't have a bigger selection of shoe care products. I would recommend anything by Penguin shoe care products--much better.

Works great - This did a great job on my worn-in, one year old work boots.

Easy To Use New Product - This set of products made in England is much easier to use (no spray in the atmosphere to set off allergies) and the spot cleaner removed spots from an older pair of nubucks that were becoming unsightly. Although expensive, it appears to cover numerous pairs of shoes. I waterproofed two pairs for my husband and myself and barely made a dent in its capacity.

Finally, a product that works!Just when I was getting ready to throw out all my suede shoes, I found this product. The cleaner did a much better job of getting scuffs and marks (even on my white Mephistos) out of suede/nubuck than the dry cleaning stuff I used to use and the sealer gave them a new sheen.

Great cleaning product for Suede and Nubuck - This gel was easy to use and it worked great. I used it on my Ecco Extreme Mary Janes and they looked new again!

Excellent Results!I've used this product for years and have had nothing but excellent results. It is very easy to use and my jackets bead up water like rain on a freshly waxed car.

Works well - I used these on my Timberland's and it worked great.

Works pretty well - I purchased this to clean a nubuck leather purse and it worked pretty well. Heavily stained areas didn't come completely out, but the product was worth purchasing and made my purse look much better than before.
