How to look after and clean your Ugg boots
Before you first wear your Ugg boots it is advisable to spray them with water and stain resistant protector spray, make sure you spray them evenly and its best to leave the boots for 24 hours to dry before wear. Ugg Australia also recommends reapplying if your boots are frequently exposed to wet weather.
It’s best not to wear your Ugg boots during times of heavy rain and slushy snow, you should also avoid walking through mud with them and at any time that they could get soaked in puddles or streams.
If you find your boots are slightly marked you can normally clean them with a damp cloth or with a soft brush.
If you find your boots are heavily soiled you can wash them by hand using only water and vinegar on a cloth, using one part vinegar to one part water or use one part leather cleaner to one part water.
You must never put your Ugg boots into water to clean them as it will cause them to lose their shape, simply dab any areas that are stained to clean.
To dry your boots you need to fill them with paper towels to help them retain their shape and leave to dry for at least 24 hours
Do not dry your boots near a fire or heater or in direct sunlight, this will cause the sheepskin in your boots to dry too quickly and it will shrink and become discoloured.
Once they have dried you can brush your boots back into shape again with either a lint brush, a nubuck brush, a soft cloth, or a suede brush.
Remember to then spray them with some protector spray 24 hours before you wear them again.
Ugg boots are made from sheepskin leather so be mindful of stretching and staining that can occur while you wear them.
