Although UGG boots were released several decades ago, it wasn’t until the mid-2000s that the star system began to make them fashionable. With the boom behind us, for a few years now the Australian firm based in California has once again gone viral with current models that meet the needs of the moment and follow the trends of each season. Quite a high price, today we show you how to clean ugg boots without spoiling them to leave them as new.
How to clean UGG boots and make them new
UGG boots are made of suede leather, which makes them delicate footwear that can be damaged just by looking at it (so to speak). Knowing that we must avoid water and that stains can form at a minimum, today we show you different ways to clean UGG boots from home and give them a newly released effect.
How to clean UGG boots with the UGG cleaning kit
One of the easiest ways to clean our boots is with the cleaning kit that the same firm presented a few years ago. First of all we will brush our boots to remove all the dust and dirt that they may have at the moment. Once they are well brushed, we will moisten them with a cloth so that it absorbs the product but we will never put them under the tap or soak them.
In a separate bowl we will make a mixture with cold water together with the cleaning and conditioning liquid, and with the help of a sponge (and very carefully) we will apply the mixture on the boot. We will do it from the top to the tip, making sure that we apply the mixture throughout the boot (and add more effort wherever there are stains). Once we have applied everything, and with the same damp cloth from the beginning, we will pass it again gently to remove the remains of the applied product. This is where we will let them air dry for a day or two.
We must avoid leaving the boots near a direct heat source such as a stove or the sun itself. In addition, it is recommended to fill them with a towel or cloth, so that they do not lose their shape. Once they are dry, we will gently brush them from above towards the toe of the boot and apply the protective spray to waterproof them.
How to clean ugg boots with chalk
There are greasy stains that are difficult to remove, especially on skin as delicate as the suede of the UGG boot. If your stains are grease and you don’t know how to remove them, here is a trick that might interest you. You have to act quickly to prevent the stain from becoming embedded, so we will use a white chalk on the stain and let it act by absorbing the grease throughout the night. In the morning, we will remove the traces of chalk with a brush.
How to clean ugg boots with vinegar
One of the most common mistakes we make is using UGG boots to go places with snow. Despite the fact that these shoes protect us from the cold, the snow does not work well for them, creating white fences (they come out due to the salt). For this reason, we will brush the boots with a soft bristle brush, we will make a mixture with warm water and a few drops of vinegar, and we will apply the mixture to the boot with a cloth (and very carefully). With another damp cloth we will remove the remains of water and vinegar, letting them air dry.
How to clean UGG boots with a magic eraser
If you are one of those who use your UGG boots daily and, although you try to take care of them and be very careful, small scratches have appeared, we can eliminate them with the help of a magic eraser. First we will brush the boots to remove excess dust or dirt and we will moisten the magic eraser with a little water. We will rub dry on the stain with circular movements and when finished, we will pass a brush to remove the remains of the product.
