Ugg® Boots - Keep them Clean

As many people have now decided to and join the fashion band wagon where these boots are concerned and you are thinking about buying a pair. However, once you have got them what do you need to ensure that they stay looking as good as the day you brought them.

Firstly, one of the best things you can do to make sure that you keep them looking as good as the day you brought them is to not wear them when the weather is extremely wet or there has been a snowfall. Remember these boots have not been designed for wet conditions, but rather to keep people's feet warm during the winter months.

If you do find that your boots have got dirty then it is advised that you wash them by hand and with cold water only. Whatever you do, don't put them in a washing machine or use hot water as this will cause permanent damage to the sheepskin through shrinkage etc. If you think about it when you put a nice wool jumper in a hot wash what is the first thing to happen to it, it shrinks.

Another point you must remember when caring for these puts is not to put them either into a dryer or near a source of heat (such a fire or radiator), although this can speed up the drying process you will find that the boot will loose its shape and yet again excess heat will cause shrinkage. The best way of drying these boots is to stuff them with paper towels and let them dry naturally. By stuffing them with the paper towels you are actually helping the boot to keep its shape.

Finally, if you want you can purchase products which have specifically been designed by the manufacturers of these boots for cleaning and conditioning them. Although they are slightly more expensive than over the counter cleaning products they have been specifically designed with these boots in mind.
