GREAT for fabrics
For anyone confused about the different Kiwi shoe whiteners, they are all basically the same product in different dilutions. Here's how they compare:
1) Kiwi Whitener, Blachisssant (this product) - Great for fabrics, as it will absorb well and whiten without changing the texture much. Leaves a matte white residue. Little actual hiding ability for dark scuffs and lines on rubber or foam parts. It's more for whitening dingy fabric shoes. Washes off.
2) Kiwi Leather Shoe Whitener - Medium-thick liquid suitable for covering the entire surface of leather shoes. Medium hiding ability, and not for fabrics, as it will change the texture. Can be buffed after drying to create a shine.
3) Kiwi Scuff Cover - The thickest shoe whitener. Good hiding ability for scuffs and lines (may still require a couple coats). Absolutely not to be used on fabrics, as it dries to a rubbery film, and removing it requires more scrubbing.
