Can I use normal shoe cream on shoes made with high-tech materials such as Sympatex?
You can only use those waterproofing and care products which do not impair the functioning of such materials. By using the wrong care product, you could seal the surface of the shoes and thus keep the material from fulfilling its intended purpose. The care products we recommend for Sympatex, such as Salamander Wetter-Schutz, Coxy Aqua Stop or Woly Fashion Leather Cream, have been tested by an independent testing institute. Since all such materials have a similar structure, you should have no problems using the same care products for materials by other manufacturers.
Is there a cleaning agent for heavily soiled athletic shoes (for example, football and hiking shoes)?
Woly Sport Wet & Soft is a cleaning agent developed especially for extremely soiled athletic shoes. It contains ingredients which effectively clean the shoes, keep their materials soft and supple, and prevent the formation of mold and unpleasant odors.
How can I clean clothing made of microfibers or high-tech materials (Sympatex or the like)?
Microscopically fine fabrics are becoming more and more popular and must be washed with particular care if they are to continue fulfilling their intended purpose. Woly Sport Tex wash & clean is a detergent for washing by hand or in the machine, which ensure that the clothing gets clean right down to the pores and helps maintain the desirable characteristics of the fabric, such as keeping it impervious to wind and water, and allowing it to breathe.
