This $17 shoe protector spray is the secret to keeping white footwear sparkling
Avoid snow and slush stains this winter with Jason Markk Repel Shoe Protector Spray, shoppers say: 'No yellowing!'
If you've ever cleaned your shoes — especially white ones — you know firsthand that it's a complete chore. Also, depending on your shoe's main fabric, those deep-set stains are hard to remove. Even worse, winter snow and slush can wreak havoc on your footwear. Well, the right shoe protector spray can help with all that.
Thousands of shoppers say one product perfectly protects their shoes from stains (especially during the messy winter months) while keeping white shoes white with no yellowing or fading: the Jason Markk Repel Shoe Protector Spray.
This nontoxic, odorless, water-based spray is safe to use on all shoe materials including suede, nubuck leather, cotton, canvas, nylon, knit and more. Safe for all colors too!
Here's how it works. The Jason Markk Repel spray forms a colorless, strong, and breathable barrier on your shoe to repel stains and liquids. Best of all, the formula is safe to use on all materials, including suede, nubuck, canvas, nylon, cotton, knits and more.
The water-based spray is also odorless and colorless and has no toxic odors or harmful dyes that can imprint or transfer onto your shoe. It also won't alter the look or feel of the material.
The spray emits a fine mist combined with continuous spray functionality to cover large areas quickly and evenly in all directions.
When you're ready to use it, hold the bottle upright 6 to 8 inches from your clean, dry shoe. Spray evenly, covering the entire surface area, but don't oversaturate. That's it! Before exposing the shoe to liquid, ensure that it has completely dried.
Also, this protector spray doesn't just work on shoes. It's great for a slew of items made with absorbent materials, including headwear, backpacks, bags and more.
It's popular too! The top-selling spray has nearly 2,400 five-star reviews on Amazon. One of the most frequent comments is that it's a perfect solution for keeping white shoes white with "no yellowing" at all.
"WOW does this stuff work!" wrote one five-star reviewer. "It works so well that I bought a second pair of white sneaks and I wear both pairs all of the time. My shoes stayed sparkly white — it was my laces I had to wash."
"Saved my new shoes from being ruined!" wrote one fan with light-gray loafers. "The first time wearing my new shoes I managed to spill bright red hot sauce all over them at a restaurant. I went into the bathroom and rinsed my shoes off with water and a bit of hand soap from the dispenser. Not only did the stain immediately come out, my shoes stayed almost completely dry on the inside. I was able to put them right back on without anyone even noticing."
Another five-star reviewer also added that it's both "easy to use" and "protected my suede boots from snow and slush in Minnesota."
This spray creates a durable breathable barrier between your shoe and the elements, repelling liquids and stains before they set in.
