![]() Some people even use a carbide strip (which is an extremely fine grit sandpaper, like super duper fine grit). Certain suede brushes come with this little rubber piece on the brush already. Step 2– If you have a ‘matted’ or shiny stain, you can use a pencil eraser to ‘spot rub’ it out, being gentle as you go. You can get them at any shoe store or shoe repair shop. Pick up a specialty suede brush to do this. Step 1 – Brush the boot in one direction (ideally top-to-bottom) to remove any surface dirt and grime. It is important to note that heat sets oil and grease stains, so be very careful not to get boots too hot (this even means in vehicles) if you have a stain you want to get rid of. Step 4 – You can then clean the boots as usual (see below). Step 3 – In the morning, dust it off gently, use a clean paintbrush if you have one and the stains should be gone. Step 2 – Let it sit overnight – this powder is absorbent and can ‘suck up’ oil and grease. If you don’t have white chalk, use a pinch of cornstarch and sprinkle it over top the stain, then gently pat it down. Step 1 – Take a piece of white chalk and gently ‘color’ over the grease or oil stain. It is recommended that once you remove stains, you move on to clean the entire boot (or else you’ll have areas that look patchy). Treat stains before you do a general clean of the boot. This circles back to the point about ongoing maintenance! Keep in mind, some pairs will be damaged beyond repair and despite your restorative efforts, they won’t look any better. Further, ongoing maintenance is crucial! UGG boots can last you a long time so long as you give them the TLC they deserve. ![]() I digress…Īnywho, to restore UGG boots to their initial beauty, some key steps need to be taken. ![]() This is ironic, no? A winter boot that is not good to wear in snowy, salty and muddy conditions? Hm. While they look wonderful, they are not the most compatible with winter conditions often times, mud, snow and salt can wreak havoc on the boots, leaving them looking worn and old. The caveat with UGG boots is their suede exterior. They are warm, comfortable and many women could not go without their beloved UGGs for one single winter (or summer, I’ve seen it). However, they’ve clearly cemented their place in female fashion indefinitely. Once thought to be a passing fad I admittedly caved and bought the ‘budget’ pair of pale pink ones from Payless when I was a starving student to be a part of this fad. About 64,334 times a year, I get a question from our community regarding cleaning UGG boots. I don’t have a pair myself, and I don’t have any plans on buying any, so I’ve never really taken on this question.
