You already know as soon as that brisk October/ November weather hits these Uggs are making a comeback! Uggs have been trending for years around this time, but with the rise of social media I am pretty sure everyone got a pair for the holiday. In today’s Shoe Care Academy episode we will walk you through how to clean your favorite pair of boots, how to protect them and even how to revive your old pair. After all you DON’T have to get a new pair every year!
We picked up this used pair on eBay and it was clear that they had been worn to the ground they had mud, dust, grime and color fading all over this boot. We started the cleaning using the dry brush method to remove the loose dirt and grime before moving over to the solution. Uggs are made of extremely delicate materials and they are known to bleed some color, so we were in for a challenge. During the dry brushing method we quickly realized that the material was falling apart, so that told us how cautious we needed to be cleaning these.
After we dry brushed we went ahead and used our Essential Cleaning Kit. We cautiously cleaned the entire upper using the Soft Bristle Brush and Solution. We made sure to pat the brush off a couple times before applying it directly to the suede, because of the delicate materials and color bleed. These boot bled like crazy, but if you watch until the end you will see they come back! After the uppers were cleaned we had to take care of some of the deeper nooks and crannys.
When you are cleaning Uggs you have to be mindful of the deep stitching and the nylon border around the midsole; they trap dirt in like crazy. We used the Medium Bristle Brush to take care of the midsole next which was the easy part of the cleaning! After that we moved over to the Stiff Bristle Brush to scrub the entire bottom of the boot, but man there was some trapped in mud in those deep crevices.
With the pretreatment done all that was left to do was to let the boot dry and hope for the best. After 3 hours of drying we quickly realized that the boot had some serious fading on the upper materials and the suede was not feeling the best. We used our suede product line up to revive the suede and to bring back the color in the dingy, faded materials.
Overall these boots came out looking 100X better than they did when we got them in!
Drop a comment and let us know if you picked up a new pair of Uggs this season and we will send you the product you need to take care of them!
