I have a pair of ugg boots that are FILTHY! Is it okay to wash them in the washing machine?

Question

Or will that damage them?

Answer 1

Ugg boots are so cozy and warm, you may never want to take them off. However, the constant wearing will lead to dirt, grime and odors. You can use specialized Ugg products to clean Ugg boots, or simply utilize household products as explained below.

Steps:
1. Use cold water to lightly moisten the outside of the boots only. Do not submerge them in water.
2. Dilute a cleaner appropriate for leather to form a solution of one part cleaner and one part water.
3. Apply solution to a wet sponge and gently clean boots' outer surface. Rinse with clean sponge dipped in cold water.
4. Stuff boots with paper towels or newspaper to hold shape and dry out of direct sunlight or direct heat. Direct sunlight or heat will cause shrinkage.
5. Brush boots with a suede brush or lint-free towel to restore the nap.
6. Use a mixture of 2 tsp. baking soda and 2 tsp. corn flour to deodorize and soften the inside of the boots. If you wish, you can add a few drops of an essential oil to create a sweet scent. Shake the mixture into the boots and let it stand overnight. Shake the excess out the next day.

Overall Tips:
Cleaning and protection products available from Ugg include Ugg Sheepskin Cleaner and Conditioner.

Apply a water and stain-resistant coating to the boots to minimize stains and dirt, such as Ugg Sheepskin Water and Stain Repellent.

You can buy replacement insoles for Uggs - some of them washable - so if your boots have an odor problem consider replacing or washing the insoles.

Sometimes the boots will shrink slightly after washing. This is normal and you can expect them to stretch back out when you wear them.

Overall Warnings:
Never put Ugg boots in the washing machine or dryer.

Most Ugg boots are intended for indoor wear. Keep away from extreme elements, such as rain and snow, to keep your boots in tip-top shape.

Answer 2

NO YOU MUST NOT! if they are real ugg boots they are made from Sheep skin and suede which means that when washed in a washing machine they will shrink and lose their stiching over time. SHampoo them whith a a shoe shampoo which you can buy in shops and acloth or just use water and dry them on radiator do not use a t. dryer

Answer 5

You can wash them, but if they are suede/soft leather don't...but my tip is, put the boots into a pillow case, put some other cloths that need washing also, don't pack it tight, but you will need enough cloths to cushion your boots.....then wash, but make sure you spin at a medium speed.....Also use cloths pegs to hold the pillow case closed...

Answer 6

Ah! Once, I wondered just like you and put my very dirty, fat and muddy boots in the washing machine. My Mum dried them on the radiator after it was washed and.......when I saw them, GOODNESS!

Answer 7

noooooooooo dont put em in the machine, they will lose all their natural oils and dry out, use a proper cleaner...

DO NOT LET THEM DRY ON THE RADIATOR, LET THEM DRY NATURALLY...SORRY BECKY

Answer 8

as ugly as ugg boots are, I would take my chances, if it ruins them, then you can get better looking boots.
