To remove a vegetable oil stain from Ugg boots, follow these steps:
1. Blot the stain with a paper towel or clean cloth to remove any excess oil.
2. Sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder on the stain and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the oil.
3. Use a soft brush or toothbrush to gently scrub the powder into the stain.
4. Wipe off the powder with a clean cloth.
5. If the stain remains, mix a solution of dish soap and warm water.
6. Dip a cloth in the soapy water and gently blot the stain until it disappears.
7. Allow the boots to air dry and brush the suede with a soft brush to restore its texture.
UGG boots are a popular brand of sheepskin boots made in Australia. However, their appeal diminishes when they become stained. Oil stains, especially those caused by vegetable oils, are particularly difficult to remove because they do not dissolve easily. If your UGGs are stained with oil, it is important to wash them gently by hand to prevent further damage.
Step 1
Use a clean white cloth or paper towel to gently blot the stain and remove any excess oil. Each time, use a different section of the cloth to blot the stain until no more oil is absorbed. Avoid vigorously rubbing the area, as this can harm the delicate sheepskin.
Step 2
Lightly rub the affected area with white chalkboard chalk. Leave the chalk on for 30 to 60 minutes to absorb the vegetable oil. Then, remove the chalk by dusting it off with a clean soft cloth or a suede brush. Repeat this step as needed until you see progress.
Step 3
Mix a mild and gentle wool detergent or sheepskin shampoo (available at many shoe retailers) with an equal amount of cold water to remove any remaining oil.
Step 4
Wet the entire outer surface of the boots. Do not soak them, but ensure that the surface feels wet to the touch.
Step 5
Apply the diluted cleaning mixture to a clean soft cloth or sponge and rub them together to create a lather.
Step 6
Gently scrub the area until it is clean, then rinse the boot with clean, cold water.
Step 7
Stuff the boots with newspaper or paper towels to help maintain their shape while they dry.
Step 8
Squeeze out any excess water from the boots and place them in a dry and safe area to dry. Make sure they are not exposed to direct sunlight or high heat. Allow the UGG boots to air dry naturally and avoid using a hair dryer or any source of heat.
Step 9
After the boots are completely dry, lightly brush them with a suede brush.
Step 10
Inside the dry boots, mix 2 tsp. of baking soda with 2 tsp. of corn flour and sprinkle the mixture. This will remove any odors left from the cleaning process. Let the mixture sit overnight and shake it out before wearing the boots.
Step 11
Protect your UGGs from future stains by spraying them with a stain- and water-repellent for sheepskin. This product can be purchased at most shoe retailers.
