Ingredients for Shoe Dry Cleaning Solution

To formulate a shoe dry cleaning solution, you would typically need a combination of cleaning agents (surfactants) and potentially enzymes to help break down specific stains. While I cannot provide a precise formula with percentages, here are some types of ingredients that could be suitable:

• Gentle Surfactants: These help lift dirt and grime without being too harsh on the shoe material. Examples include Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, and Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Taurate. These are derived from amino acids and are known for their mildness and good foaming properties.
• Effective Cleaning Surfactants: For general cleaning power, surfactants like Potassium Laurate or Potassium Cocoate can be used. These are soaps derived from fatty acids.
• Hydrotropes: Ingredients like Sodium Xylene Sulfonate can be used to help stabilize the formula and improve the solubility of other components.
• Enzymes: For specific stains like protein-based dirt, a Stabilized protease enzyme can be added to help break them down.

Remember that formulating a stable and effective cleaning product requires careful consideration of ingredient compatibility, pH, and testing for different shoe materials. It is recommended to start with small batches and test thoroughly.
