How to Protect and Clean your Ugg Boots

While the lifespans of other, lesser quality boots are relatively short, Ugg boots tend to keep on lasting. However, to maximize their longevity, they need a little special attention. Since Ugg shoes footwear is of the highest quality, it should be cared for properly!

Please note that under NO circumstances should the Cleaner & Conditioner be applied directly onto any sheepskin footwear (such as your Uggs!).

Here are some general guidelines to follow to ensure that your Ugg boots last for years and years to come.

1. Do not use your washing machine. Genuine Ugg boots should be hand washed.
2. Dampen the footwear lightly with clean water (cold is ideal).
3. Make sure that you moisten the entire boot evenly while you are cleaning to make sure that you don't end up with visible water lines after they dry.
4. It is best to dilute your Cleaner & Conditioner with an equal part of water (half water, half Cleaner & Conditioner).
5. Apply a sparing amount of the mixed solution to a sponge. Once again, do not apply it directly onto your footwear (that's pretty important!)
6. Lightly scrub the entire area until it is clean. Because of the delicate nature of sheepskin, it can be easily damaged if it is scrubbed too rigorously. Using an undiluted cleaning solution may also damage the sheepskin.
7. Rinse with clean water, and then wring out as much water as possible. In order to maintain the shape of the boots, you should stuff them with paper towels (or whatever you have handy) to prevent them from flopping over as they dry. Whatever you do, do NOT leave them to dry in high heat or open sunlight.
8. Once your Ugg footwear is finally dry, lightly brush in one direction (only) with a soft suede brush.

Those are your basic care instructions, but there are additional steps you may take to further extend the longevity of your boots.

Deodorize and Soften
Take 2 tsp. of baking soda and 2 tsp. of corn flour, and then shake the mixed solution inside of your Ugg boots. The result will be a nice softening effect as well as deodorization. If you'd like, you can even add a couple drops of your favorite essential oil to give the boots a sweet scent. Let the boots sit with the mixture inside over night, then shake out what's left over the next day.

Water and Stain Repellent
Although it's not 100% necessary, depending on how heavily you plan to use your Ugg boots and what sort of weather they'll be exposed to, you may want to protect them even further by using the Water & Stain Repellent.

Follow the instructions as listed on the bottle for the best results.

When used correctly, Ugg Shoes Water & Stain Repllent along with Cleaner & Conditioner will do wonders for your boots. Of course, keep in mind that sheepskin is a very delicate material, and not all types of stains will be easily prevented or removed.
