FAQ- Everything about Blueroca and Shoe Defence
Blueroca started with one simple gap: we disinfect our hands, but we forget what our shoes bring home.
About Shoe Defence
What is Blueroca Shoe Defence and how does it remove shoe odour and bacteria?
Blueroca Shoe Defence is a lab-tested shoe deodoriser and disinfectant designed to eliminate bad shoe odour by targeting the bacteria that cause smell. It works by neutralising odour-causing microbes inside footwear while also disinfecting shoe surfaces. Unlike regular shoe fresheners that only mask smell, Blueroca addresses the source of odour — bacterial buildup from sweat and moisture. The formula has been laboratory tested to EN standards for bactericidal activity and is suitable for common shoe materials when used as directed.
How do I use Blueroca Shoe Defence to deodorise and disinfect shoes properly?
Spray lightly inside or outside the shoe from 15–20 cm away, focusing on areas where odour builds up. Allow 10 seconds contact time to disinfect, then let the shoe air-dry or wipe with a clean cloth if preferred.
How often should I use Blueroca Shoe Defence?
You can use Blueroca Shoe Defence daily, especially after workouts, long wear, or when shoes develop odour. Regular use helps prevent bacteria buildup that causes persistent shoe smell.
Is Blueroca Shoe Defence safe to use around kids and pets at home?
Yes. Blueroca Shoe Defence is a household-grade, non-flammable shoe spray. Use it away from children and pets in a ventilated area, and once fully dry, treated shoes are safe to bring indoors.
Can I use Blueroca Shoe Defence on all types of shoes?
Yes. BlueRoca Shoe Defence is safe to use on finished leather, suede, mesh, and synthetic shoes when used as directed. It dries without leaving residue or damaging common footwear materials.
Is Blueroca Shoe Defence lab tested or certified?
Yes. Blueroca Shoe Defence is independently lab tested to EN 1276 and EN 13697 standards for bactericidal performance. These tests confirm its ability to reduce bacteria on treated shoe surfaces under controlled conditions.
How long does Blueroca Shoe Defence keep shoes fresh?
Blueroca Shoe Defence helps control shoe odour for extended periods by targeting the bacteria that cause smell. With regular daily use, many users notice shoes stay fresher between wears compared to fragrance-only sprays.
How long does one bottle of Blueroca Shoe Defence last?
One bottle provides approximately 600+ sprays, depending on how heavily it’s applied. With regular daily use, most people find a bottle lasts several weeks.
Safety and Other
What does Blueroca Shoe Defence smell like?
When sprayed, there is a brief, sharp scent for a few seconds as the disinfecting carriers evaporate. Once dry, it leaves a light, clean leather note with a subtle hint of pine, without any heavy or lingering perfume.
Why isn’t leaving shoes on a rack enough to stop Bacteria?
Leaving shoes on a rack keeps dirt out, but it doesn’t remove bacteria picked up from streets, gyms, and public spaces. That Bacteria can still transfer indoors through handling or reuse, which is why Blueroca is designed to disinfect shoes before they enter the home.
Where should I store Blueroca Shoe Defence?
Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. For easy daily use, many people keep it near the front door or in the car, as long as it’s not exposed to heat.
Is Blueroca Shoe Defence safe to use on white shoes?
Yes, when used as directed. Blueroca Shoe Defence dries clear and leaves no visible residue, making it suitable for white shoes. Avoid over-spraying, and as with any product, test first on delicate or unfinished materials.
Is Blueroca Shoe Defence flammable?
No. Blueroca Shoe Defence is classified as non-flammable under standard storage and transport conditions when used as directed. It is safe for normal household use, including indoor storage.
What makes Blueroca Shoe Defence different from regular shoe deodorisers?
Most shoe deodorisers mask odour with fragrance, which fades quickly. Blueroca targets and disinfects the bacteria that cause shoe smell, helping prevent odour from returning as fast.
Why does Blueroca Shoe Defence work faster than other shoe sprays?
Blueroca Shoe Defence is designed for a short contact time and independently tested to recognised EN hygiene standards. Under laboratory conditions, it achieves effective bacterial reduction in as little as 10 seconds, allowing fast use without long waiting times.
What is the shelf life of Blueroca Shoe Defence?
BlueRoca Shoe Defence has an estimated shelf life of up to 24 months when stored below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the cap tightly closed to maintain performance over time.
