10 Tips on How to Take Care of Your Uggs

5 March 2010 No Comment

Here’s what we’ve covered so far in this Caring for Your Ugg Boots series:

In this blog post, we’re going to delve into the proper way of taking care of your ugg boots.

One of the good things about ugg boots is although its fashion is always questioned, it never really goes out of style. The shapeless almost unflattering silhouette is what keeps the ugg boot always on top of trends, its “stylelessness” rallying against the fads that come with every season.

So far, the ugg boot has proven that it’s more than just a passing phase. It has become something of a wardrobe staple for many people. So if you’re one of those people, then it’s a good idea to keep your ugg boots in tiptop shape if you’re to wear them in the years to come. The following are 10 tips on how to take care of your uggs so you get the most wear out of them:

  1. From the moment you take your ugg boots out of the store, treat them with a water and stain repellent immediately. Doing this even before wearing your uggs will prevent any initial staining and will keep dirt from seeping into the boot’s material.
  2. Never let your uggs soak in water. Doing so could wrench your boots out of shape and weaken the boots’ adhesives.
  3. Never place your ugg boots under a direct heat source. A radiator, an electric heater, and especially the sun will fade the color and could make the suede/leather/sheepskin materials dry and brittle.
  4. When cleaning your ugg boots, put the cleaning solution onto a sponge or a cloth first. Never put the cleaner directly onto the boot.
  5. Use a soft-bristled suede brush when brushing your ugg boots. A coarse or a wire brush will get of the dirt but will also leave scratches on the boots.
  6. When drying wet ugg boots, let the boots dry fully before storing. If you hasten the drying process and put them away in a closet immediately, molds could form on the boots and cause damage.
  7. As tempting as it is, ugg boots aren’t really meant to be worn in the rain, in the snow, or on a hiking trip. Avoid wearing your ugg boots to places that could scratch, scuff, or dirty them unnecessarily.
  8. Wearing socks with your ugg boots is a good way to keep odors from developing. If socks with uggs isn’t your thing, then make it a habit to religiously treat them with odor absorbers. A powder mix of baking soda, corn flour, and a few drops of essential oil will work effectively.
  9. Stuff your boots with plain paper or a towel when not in use. This will help the boots retain their shape.
  10. When in doubt about how to remove a certain stain or how to clean your ugg boots, bring your boots to a professional cleaner. The added stress from failed home remedy attempts is never worth it.
