All Material Shoe Whitening Spray
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I want to bring a ready-to-use whitening spray to market that can turn a pair of dingy white shoes back into a box-fresh white, no matter whether they’re leather, canvas, or synthetic.
The core task is to develop a stable, easy-to-apply formula that safely lifts stains, counteracts yellowing, and leaves an even, bright finish without altering the shoe’s texture. I need the full formulation with percentages, a clear outline of the active whitening agents and supporting surfactants/solvents, plus any recommended fragrance or preservative system to keep it shelf-stable.
When the formula is locked, please include:
• Simple, small-batch preparation steps I can replicate in a basic lab set-up.
• Application instructions and ideal nozzle specs to achieve a fine, consistent spray.
• Testing notes showing it works on leather, canvas, and synthetic uppers without cracking, stiffening, or color shift.
• Packaging and labeling guidance that meets standard consumer chemical regulations.
Acceptance criteria: the spray must produce a visibly brighter white in one coat, dry within 15 minutes, and leave no chalky residue. If you have experience with footwear care products or similar aerosol/spray cosmetics, your insight will be invaluable.
