If nothing obstructs the opening of the boots, they will air out on their own. Next time you slip your ugg boots on, they will feel and look as great as ever.

How to Clean Ugg Boots

One reason ugg boots look and feel wonderful is the sheepskin used to make each pair. Sheepskin is a material that should be cleaned gently.

To dry, place your uggs in the shade, away from heat or direct sunlight and allow drying out slowly to retain the soft, supple finish. Sheepskin footwear does shrink slightly after drying out, but will get back to normal after just a few wears. Once the boot is dry, lightly brush the cleaned area with a suede or nubuck brush. Brush in one direction only. If you follow these directions, your ugg boots will look fantastic for years to come.
