Ugg boots for several years have been registered in the wardrobe of every second resident of Russia. Shoes are easily soiled, so the question of washing often arises. About whether it is possible to wash the ugg boots in the machine or whether you need to clean them manually, you will find out below.
What method of care to choose
Ugg boots came to our market from Australia and New Zealand. These shoes found distribution there in agriculture, which explains their not too pretentious appearance. Despite the plainness, the boots are soft, comfortable, warm, without locks, laces or zippers. Those who invented them used natural materials. Today they are mostly synthetic - this reduces production costs and opens up opportunities for easy care. Can I wash the uggs in the washing machine? The answer to the question consists of three factors:
- If the boots are made of genuine leather, suede or fur - do not throw them into the machine. These boots should be cleaned by hand.
- Synthetic ugg boots can be washed automatically under two conditions: the shoes are stitched with high quality, you follow the rules and recommendations for washing.
- Suede options can be washed, but not in the AGR, but with your hands.
How to machine wash
To properly wash the uggs in the washer, first rinse the dirt off the sole and proceed in this order:
- Put your shoes in a special case or wrap them in an old pillowcase.
- Pour shoe shampoo into the detergent drawer.
Important! Do not use powders - they are very difficult to rinse.
- Set to Shoes or Delicate Wash. Temperature - no higher than 30 degrees.
- Turn off spin and dryer.
- Start the wash and wait until the cycle ends.
An equally important stage of care is drying. Do not twist and do not put shoes on the battery, so you only ruin it. First put the boots in the basin so that the glass is excess water. Then crumple a few sheets of white paper or take an old waffle towel and stuff the toe of the boot with this, then do the same with the bootleg. Instead of paper, you can insert an empty plastic bottle into the top. Choose a warm place to dry - not far from the batteries, but not on them. When paper or towels absorb moisture, you need to replace the "stuffing" - so the boots will dry faster.
