Once you’ve been wearing your new Ugg Boots for a while, they may need to be cleaned. They just seem to have lost that “new” look. Here are some helpful tips for cleaning your Ugg Boots and keeping them looking good for as long as possible.
Because they are so comfortable to wear, Ugg Boots are often worn constantly. This can lead them to being covered in a lot of dirt and street grime. There are some special products available to keep them looking brand new, however.
Some of the special cleaning products can be very expensive. Are you wondering if there are some simpler strategies that can offer the same results? Following is a list of a few helpful home tips for keeping your Ugg Boots looking as good as when you wore them for the very first time.
When cleaning your Ugg Boots at home, there are a few simple steps to follow. First, very lightly dampen the outside of the boot with some cold water and a soft cloth. Be careful to not fully immerse them in water, that won’t work nearly as well. Not only will the lining become totally soaking wet, it will become misshapen.
After dampening with a wet cloth, dilute a solution of general cleaner that is appropriate for use on leather products. Typically mixing one part of cleaning solution to one part water works perfectly.
Use a wet sponge to apply to your boots. Using a sponge that has been soaked in clean cold water, you should carefully rinse off the cleaning solution from the boots.
Dry the boots by blotting them with paper towels, then stuff some extra paper towels into the boots. Newspaper works well, too, and often helps to retain the shape of the boots. Be observant, and do not leave the boots in direct sunlight or close to a direct heat source to dry.
After your Ugg Boots are clean and dry, you will need to use a suede brush or a towel that is lint free to restore the nap on the outside of the boot. If necessary, you may need to take approximately 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 2 teaspoons of corn flour and sprinkle it inside of the boot. Shake it around inside the boot, and shake it out again in the morning. This not only helps absorb any excess moisture that remains inside, but it helps eliminate any odor buildup.
Keeping your Ugg Boots clean is something that you need to take care of regularly, but, with minimal effort, you can keep your Uggs looking as good as new. With simple home remedies, and no special products, your Ugg Boots will stand the test of time!
Please be sure to follow this advice, because Ugg Boots can get stained and when they do, it s very difficult to remove. So clean your Uggs whenever they get dirty, as soon as they get dirty and they will take care of you for a very long time.
