Cleaning Technique

We were intrigued to test the KIWI Shoe Whitener, promising to brighten leather, vinyl, canvas, and nylon alike—four fl oz of potential magic for our shoes. Armed with the included sponge applicator, we dove into our trial. The texture flowed evenly onto dirty sneakers, and the sponge glided over surfaces without scratching, whether it was scuffed jeans or yellowed boots. Application was smooth, and the solution worked admirably across different materials, revealing clean, unblemished patches instantly. A curious note: the sponge felt slightly stiff at first, almost like it needed a moment to relate to the surface, but it adapted quickly with gentle use. Overall, we were satisfied with its versatility and the thoughtful inclusion of the sponge—though we’d wager the name deserves an apostrophe!
