Step 2 Tell us about your item

These details let us confirm the right process before you arrive. Everything is checked again with you at drop-off.

Please choose the type of item you are booking in.

Please tell us the main problem or treatment required.

A preference, not a confirmed appointment — we confirm the time with you before you visit.

Please choose a preferred drop-off date.

Helpful but not required — we go through the item with you at check-in and record its condition together.

After you book, bring your item to The Gear Spa with your order number. We check it in with you, record its condition, and treatment begins once it has been assessed and accepted.

We work with reasonable care and skill, but cleaning cannot guarantee that every stain or odour will be removed, and existing wear can become more visible. We record your item's condition with you at check-in and explain any specific risks before we begin.

What’s included

A single flat-fee treatment at £19.99 for one pair of boots, with no per-kilogram or size selection to manage.

  • Dry sanitising that reaches linings, padding and internal membranes, and the hard-to-access areas hands and sprays miss
  • Deodorising that works on sweat, damp and long-term storage odours at their source rather than masking them
  • No liquid saturation, protecting the structure and finish of leather and technical materials
  • Boots handed back hygienically refreshed and ready for the road

Suitable for

  • Leather motorcycle and riding boots
  • Technical textile riding boots
  • Waterproof and membrane-lined boots
  • Boots with linings and padding that hold sweat and damp
  • Footwear that has developed odour in long-term storage
  • Boots unsuited to conventional washing

Not suitable for

  • Boots with irreparable structural damage or heavy sole delamination
  • Footwear contaminated with hazardous or biohazardous substances we cannot accept
  • Heavily caked or ingrained soiling that needs physical or wet cleaning rather than dry sanitising
  • Items that genuinely require a liquid wash to reach the result you want

The specialist process

Your boots are treated with a professional dry sanitising process that targets and reduces odour-causing bacteria, fungi and mould within linings and padding. Because there is no liquid washing, the treatment penetrates internal membranes and hard-to-reach areas without soaking the boot or compromising its structural integrity.

The deodorising stage then works on trapped sweat, damp and long-term storage odours at source, so leather and technical riding boots come back sanitised, fresh and structurally sound.

Does this wash my boots? p>No. This is a dry sanitising and deodorising treatment with no liquid washing, which is what makes it suitable for boots that cannot safely take a conventional wash./p>

Can you treat leather and waterproof boots? p>Yes. The process is designed for leather, technical textile and waterproof membrane construction, and works without saturating the materials./p>

Will it remove heavy mud or ingrained dirt? p>This treatment focuses on sanitising and deodorising rather than removing caked or ground-in soiling. If your boots need physical cleaning we will flag it with you at check-in, before any treatment begins./p>
