Uggs Fashion Shoes Care

by Jeff Borland

The inherit properties of sheepskin is marvelous. Just a single layer, where the leather skin is outside and the fleece against your skin, will keep you feet warm in winter and cool in summer. They can be worn without socks whereas synthetics will cause your feet to perspire and develop odor quickly.

Uggs natural fleece allow for air to circulate between the fibers and wicks off the perspiration from your skin. Odor doesn’t get the chance to incubate and develop and is the ideal lining for a shoe, slipper or boot.

One can make use of water repellent or water resistant cleaners. You just have to spray the area evenly and thoroughly. Make sure you spray the seams but do not saturate the leather. With frequent rain and inclement weather, apply water and stain repellent more often and let dry for 24 hours.

Read the manufacturer’s directions carefully. Apply down-wind and not near a flame. Many of these repellent’s are extremely flammable and are not the healthiest of aerosols to breathe in.

Once in a while you have to wash you Uggs and if you don’t mind a little fading, use a washing machine. Very cold water helps reduce fading. Use Woolite, not soap. Throw in some tea shirts as scrubbers and to keep them from knocking around. Use the light-duty cycle for 10 or 15 minutes.

At the end of the cycle, pull out the boots, slippers or shoes. You can hand scrub with a soft brush using a little Woolite or use an old toothbrush or nail brush where there is any encrusted dirt or scuffs that needs that little bit extra scrubbing. Then you can return to the washer and rinse and spin dry.

If you have Ugg boots and you pulled them out, put soda bottles into the boot to keep it upright. You’ll want to put them in a warm place. If you see them puckering pull and push shaping the sheepskin in order to keep the look perfect.

Assure equal drying by making the boot is equally wet so there is no water line. After they are dry you’ll want to brush the suede with a soft brush to get the pile up and soften up the looks of the outer surface. Remember to re-apply the waterproofing spray.

Using cold water and using Woolite keeps the fading at a minimum due to washing. Uggs will stretch with wear. A good fitting pair should fit snug and not too tight.

Deodorize Ugg boots is a simple matter. After the boot is dried use a mixture of baking soda and corn flour to deodorize and soften the inside of the boots. Take 2 tsp of baking powder and 2 tsp of corn flour mixed together and sprinkle them inside the boot and shake the dust around the bottom. Let them stay overnight and shake out the excess in the morning.
