How to Clean Uggs At Home Without Damaging Them

Nature has its way to mess up one's life in mysterious ways. As if rain, grease and snow weren't enough, the salty grime from roads add an unwelcome white tint to suede and sheepskin shoes.

But before addressing the salt stains, it’s crucial to tackle any water stains first to avoid marks or lines. This helps prevent further damage and ensures a smoother cleaning process.

Thus, to illiminate salt stains, prepare a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Dab the solution onto the salt stains with a cloth, then rinse with a water-dipped cloth and blot dry.

Allow the shoes to dry completely before wearing them again.

According to UGGs, a little sprinkle of corn starch takes away the stubborn oil from your shoes. They suggest to treat greasy spots with a sprinkle of corn starch as it absorbs the access moisture.

All you have to do is dust the starch over the stain and let it sit for a few minutes before vacuuming it off. 

If you are wondering about the time limit, the size and intensity of stain dictates the length of time the corn starch sits on the suede. It can take a few minutes or up to two days for larger spots. 

Cleaning a muddy shoes is a hustle on its own. And even if you clean it, there's no guarantee that the pair will go back to how it was. But if you have some patience and follow some tricks, your shoes will for sure look the same as it was before the muddy incident.

Step 1: Get Your Shoes Ready

Start by gently brushing the exterior of your UGG boots or slippers to loosen the nap and remove any dirt or dust. Always brush in a downward motion, following the natural direction of the nap.

Step 2: Dampen the Shoes

Take a wet sponge and lightly dampen the entire surface of your UGGs. Be cautious not to oversaturate the suede, as too much water can seep into the lining.

Step 3: Scrub the Outer Surface

Apply suede shampoo or a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar. Clean the surface using gentle circular motions, starting from the top and working your way down.

Step 4: Wipe with a Damp Cloth

Then, gently wipe off the cleaner as well as those dust and grime with a damp cloth. However, you have to make sure that the cloth isn't too wet.

A few gentle swipes should be enough to remove the excess.

Step 5: Condition the Material

Moisturize the suede conditioner evenly across the surface using a fresh cloth or brush to keep the material soft and prevent cracking.

Step 6: Insert Paper Towels Inside

Stuff paper towels inside your UGGs to help them retain their shape and absorb any excess moisture during drying

Step 7: Leave Them to Air-Dry

As mechanical drying is too harsh even on a gentle cycle. So skip the tumble and place them in a cool, well-ventilated area to air-dry for 24-48 hours.

Also, skip other heat sources such as radiators as they can damage the suede.
