Kaps Cleaning Foam — one gentle foam for almost every shoe you own
Most of us own shoes made from all sorts of materials — a leather boot, a pair of suede trainers, a canvas plimsoll. Keeping a separate cleaner for each one soon fills a cupboard. That is exactly why I like this cleaning foam from Kaps: one can gently and safely cleans leather, suede, nubuck and textile, so it is the workhorse of shoe care.
The foam is worked up into a soft lather that penetrates the surface, loosens everyday dirt and lifts light stains, then wipes away cleanly. Because it is a foam rather than a soaking wet cleaner, it does the job without over-wetting delicate materials such as suede or fabric. Kaps has been making shoe care products since 1946, and this is a reliable, no-nonsense cleaner to keep on the shelf.
What I really value about a good all-material foam is how it simplifies your routine. Rather than hunting for the right bottle every time a pair needs a wipe, you keep one trusted can within easy reach and use it little and often. Regular light cleaning is the real secret to good-looking shoes — it stops dirt working its way deep into the material where it becomes far harder to shift. A quick clean now saves a big job later.

How to use Kaps Cleaning Foam
- Brush off any loose dirt or dust from the shoes first.
- Shake the can well and apply a layer of foam over the surface.
- Let the foam soak in for a short while so it can loosen the dirt.
- Wipe away the foam and lifted dirt with a clean, slightly damp cloth or a soft brush.
- Allow the shoes to dry naturally, away from direct heat. On suede or nubuck, brush the nap up once dry.
Haico’s tip: On suede and nubuck, work the foam in with a soft brush rather than a cloth, and always finish by brushing the nap back up once the shoes are dry. It keeps that lovely velvety look.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really safe on suede and nubuck?
Yes. Because it is a foam, it cleans without soaking the nap. Work it in gently with a brush and brush the surface up again once dry.
Can I use it on trainers?
Absolutely. It is ideal for fabric and leather trainers, lifting everyday dirt and freshening them up.
Do I need to protect the shoes afterwards?
It is a good idea. Once your shoes are clean and dry, a protector spray helps keep dirt and moisture out for longer.
