Before we get stuck in, lets answer some of your most frequently asked questions:

What is the Crep Protect Starter Pack Foam made out of?

Our Crep Protect Foam is made from a 98% natural solution comprised of water, coconut, and Jojoba extracts.

How many sneakers does the Crep Protect Starter Pack clean?

One Crep Protect Starter Pack cleans approximately 10 pairs of sneakers.


Is the Crep Protect Cure Solution more effective than the Crep Protect Foam?

No, both the Cure Solution and foam include the same natural ingredients for an effective and powerpacked sneaker clean. The only difference is that the foam solution is a more travelfriendly option than the Cure Solution, but both can be used for when youre on the go.

Questions: If Ive used Crep Protect Spray on sneakers, do the Wipes remove the protective layer?

Yes, they will, so we suggest you either use the Wipes first or reapply the Spray after youve used the Wipes.

Preparation:

1. Before you start the cleaning process of your Air Max 1s, remove the laces from your sneakers. Removing the laces is crucial as this allows the cleaning foam to target those toughtoget areas around the tongue and collars.

2. Remove the foam cleaner from the travelfriendly carry pack and shake the can well. Shaking the can well will allow all the cleaning solutions to combine effortlessly so that an effective foam solution can form.

3. Starting with the laces, squeeze down on the nozzle to apply the foam and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then go in with the builtin brush top, scrubbing the laces continuously until all the dirt and grime have been removed.

Top tip: Dip the builtin brush top in water before use, this will help aid the lifting off any stubborn dirt and stains.

4. Repeat step 3 until desired results are achieved and let your sneaker laces dry overnight. Then move on to the uppers of your Air Max 1s.

The Uppers:

1. For the uppers, apply the Crep Foam to the sides, mudguards, toe box, and heels making sure that you let the solution sit for 5 minutes. Then dampen the builtin brush top with water, and work the brush into the sneakers in a circular motion. Repeat this as many as you need to achieve spotless results.

2. Once cleaned, wipe down your Air Max 1's with a Microfibre cloth and allow your sneakers to dry for 24 hours or overnight in a wellventilated room.
