To clean UGG slippers, especially those made of shearling, wool, or suede, follow these steps for effective and safe cleaning:
- Spot Clean:
- Use a sponge dampened with clean water to gently spot clean any stained or soiled areas on the wool or shearling surface.
- Avoid using any special detergents or harsh cleaning products.
- Dry Gently:
- Pat the cleaned area with a clean towel to absorb moisture and lift away dirt.
- Do not rub aggressively to avoid damaging the delicate surface.
- Air Dry:
- Allow the slippers to dry naturally in an airy place, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Do not tumble dry or use direct heat.
- Optional Conditioning (for suede slippers):
- If your slippers have suede parts, use a suede brush to lift the nap gently after drying.
- You can also apply a conditioner or mink oil to protect and soften the material.
- Avoid Washing Machines:
- Hand cleaning is recommended; never wash UGG slippers in a washing machine as it damages the materials.
Additional tips include:
- Use a soft brush or sponge and avoid scrubbing harshly.
- For interiors with faux fur lining, dry cleaning or careful wiping with a damp cloth is best to sanitize without soaking.
- Use UGG-specific cleaning products if available for better protection and cleaning.
Following these steps will help keep UGG slippers clean, fresh, and well- maintained without harming their luxurious materials.
