Here are the best ways to clean your Ugg boots:
Brush Off Loose Dirt
Start by using a soft-bristle brush to remove any loose dirt or debris from the surface of your boots. This will prevent dirt from getting ground into the suede or sheepskin.
Use a Stain & Water Repellent
Before wearing your Ugg boots for the first time, apply a suede or sheepskin stain and water repellent to protect them from stains and moisture. Reapply this product periodically.
Spot Clean Stains
For minor stains, mix a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar. Dab a clean cloth or sponge into the mixture and gently blot the stained area. Do not rub, as it can damage the suede.
Clean the Entire Boot
To clean the entire boot, mix a solution of warm water and a mild detergent. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently clean the suede or sheepskin. Rinse with clean water and blot excess moisture with a dry cloth.
Let Them Dry Naturally
Avoid using direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers to dry your Ugg boots, as it can cause them to lose their shape and damage the sheepskin. Instead, stuff the boots with paper or shoe trees and let them air dry.
Restore the Fluff
If you have sheepskin-lined Ugg boots, use a suede brush to fluff up the sheepskin once they’re dry. Brush in one direction to restore the soft, fluffy texture.
Protect the Soles
If your Ugg boots have rubber soles, clean them separately with a damp cloth. Avoid getting the soles wet when cleaning the upper part of the boots.
Store Properly
When you’re not wearing your Ugg boots, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain their shape, use boot trees or stuff them with paper.
Remember that prevention is key. Regularly applying a stain and water repellent and being mindful of where you wear your Ugg boots can go a long way in keeping them clean and looking great.
