Collonil Shampoo Direct Cleaner for Leather, Suede & Textile 100ml

Description

Collonil Shampoo Direct — a deep-clean foam for almost any material

Some cleaners only suit one type of leather, but Collonil Shampoo Direct is the versatile all-rounder I reach for when a pair just needs a proper wash. Its rich foam lifts dirt and grime out of smooth leather, suede, nubuck and textile alike, and the handy sponge is built right into the cap so there is nothing extra to fetch.

The formula combines powerful yet gentle cleaning agents that you apply undiluted straight from the bottle. Worked into a foam, it draws dirt to the surface where you can wipe it away, refreshing tired shoes and trainers without harsh scrubbing.

I think of a good shampoo cleaner as the foundation of shoe care. No cream, protector or shine spray performs at its best on dirty leather, so a proper clean first is always time well spent. What makes this one so useful in a busy household is its sheer versatility — rather than juggling separate bottles for the trainers, the suede boots and the children’s school shoes, you can reach for the same trusted cleaner for all of them.

Why choose Collonil Shampoo Direct?

• Cleans almost anything: safe and effective on smooth leather, suede, nubuck and textile, so one bottle covers most of your wardrobe.
• Built-in sponge applicator: the sponge sits in the cap, making it quick and mess-free to work up a cleaning foam.
• Rich, active foam: lifts embedded dirt and grime to the surface for easy removal.
• Undiluted and ready to use: no mixing, no measuring — apply it directly and get on with it.
• Refreshes the whole shoe: ideal as the first step before you condition, protect or re-proof.

How to use Collonil Shampoo Direct

1. Brush off loose dirt and dust first.
2. Dab the sponge applicator against the bottle opening to release a little product.
3. Work it into a light foam directly on the material using gentle circular movements.
4. Wipe the loosened dirt away with a clean, damp cloth.
5. Let the item dry naturally, away from direct heat, then brush suede or nubuck to revive the nap.

Haico’s tip: always test on a small hidden area first, especially on delicate suede, and clean the whole panel rather than a single spot — that way you avoid patchy clean marks and get an even, refreshed finish.

Good to know: as a leather shampoo cleaner, this works as the first step in a proper care routine. Clean first, let the shoes dry, then condition smooth leather or re-protect suede and nubuck — that order gives you the best, longest-lasting results.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use it on white trainers? Yes. It cleans textile and leather trainers beautifully; work in sections and wipe away the foam as you go.

Do I need to dilute it? No — it is designed to be applied undiluted straight through the sponge applicator.

Should I protect my shoes afterwards? I would. Once they are dry, a protector spray helps keep them cleaner for longer, particularly on suede and nubuck.

How often should I clean my shoes with it? Whenever they look grubby — every couple of weeks for everyday shoes, or simply before you store or re-protect occasional pairs.

Is it safe on delicate suede? Yes, when used gently and tested first. Work up a light foam, avoid over-wetting, and brush the nap once dry.
