Back when he was cleaning sneakers for local sports teams, Maker David Zamarin realized the solutions and cleansers he was exposed to everyday were potentially harmful to his health. He got to work developing a non-toxic and water-based formula that would protect sneakers without the unwanted risk, and soon discovered his spray could do its job beyond shoes. Two coats of DetraPel will repel liquids and reduce stains and fading on all sorts of materials, from car upholstery to carpet to canvas—along with sneakers, of course. Now gear will look nice and clean, and the invisible-to-the-eye spray can even help prolong its life span, too.
