Household Cleaning Methods
One way to combat dirt and stains is to dry clean. It is recommended to carry out it in those cases when the ugg boots are dusty and have no special pollution . Take the rubber brush and gently swipe the material in the direction of the pile. Do not rub too hard so as not to damage the fabric.
Also, a piece of bread helps to get rid of spots. For cleaning light material, use white bread, for dark - rye bread. Roll a piece of bread into a ball and rub it thoroughly with a stain. Sweep the rest with a dry cloth.
Dry starch will not remove absorbed stains; cardinal measures must be taken here.
A large amount of dirt, stains and salt will help to cope with a wet way to clean shoes using special aids and substances. Dilute 3 tablespoons of vinegar in 200 ml of clean cool water, using a cloth and the resulting solution, clean the uggs from dirt.
Another good way to deal with pollution:
- dampen a dishwashing sponge in ammonia;

Gasoline and starch will help get rid of grease stains . Mix them to a thick slurry and apply on the spots. Leave on for a few minutes, remove any residue with water or a damp cloth. Vinegar and ammonia will help clear ugg from salt deposits. Mix them in equal proportions and apply with a napkin to the surface of the material. After that, the shoes must be dried in the fresh air.
Disinfection inside
One common wet cleaning method is to use hydrogen peroxide. Mix 10 ml of peroxide and half a liter of clean water. Pour liquid into a spray bottle and spray it inside the shoe. Wait for the fur to dry, then comb it with a brush. Baking soda works well with the smell of mold. In addition, you will need alcohol and water. Mix them in the following proportion: 200 ml of water, 15–20 grams of soda, 1 tablespoon of alcohol. With this mixture, treat the inside of the ugg, especially the seams, and allow them to dry in the fresh air. Bad smell will disappear.
To prevent odors, use a special deodorant for closed shoes.
