Steps To Take to Clean Your Ugg Boots Properly

By Allison Thompson

For all of us who now own a pair of Ugg Boots the biggest challenge we face is keeping them looking as good as the day we brought them. Hopefully the tips that we provide in this article will help to ensure that the Ugg Boots you own look as great as the day you first put them on.

As owners of Ugg Boots know these boots are extremely comfortable and so will wear them almost constantly. But the problem with wearing any kind of footwear constantly is that they are going to get dirty. So it is important that you know how to clean them. One such way of cleaning Ugg Boots is through using a cleaning producing which has been specially formulated for cleaning sueded and leather products.

The biggest problem that may stop you from buying such a cleaning product is the price. Certainly some of the ones that are advertised for use by boot makers can be extremely expensive. So rather than waste money on these we provide a number of steps to clean your Ugg Boots and ensure that they stay looking as good as they day they came out of the box.

Step 1 - You need to very lightly dampen the outside of the boot with some cold water. It is important that at no stage do you fully immerse them in water. Immersing them in water not only affects the lining of the boot inside but will also cause the boot to become misshaped.

Step 2 - Now you need to dilute a solution of cleaner that is appropriate for use on leather material. You should mix one part cleaning solution to one part water and then apply this over the boots using a wet sponge.

Step 3- Each time you apply some of the diluted cleaning solution on to the boot you should then immediately wipe it off using a sponge which has been placed in a bowl of cold water in order to rinse the solution off.

Step 4 - After you have finished the above steps you now need to take some paper towels and stuff these into the boots. You can if you wish use newspaper instead as long as you stuff in enough so that the boots shape is retained. Then place them in a place to dry. Do not leave them either in direct sunlight or close to a heat source.

Step 5 - Once your Ugg boots have dried out completely you now take either a suede brush or a towel that is lint free and use this to restore the nap on the outside of the boot. If you want to deodorize the inside of your boot take 2 tsp of baking powder and 2 tspn of corn flour and sprinkle inside the boot. Shake the boots around then let them stand over night before you shake out any excess.
