While this is just one reason why many people choose to wear this particular type of shoe, it is also possible to get too comfortable in your UGGs. No matter how careful you are while wearing your UGG boots, at some point you are bound to get them either scuffed, marked, or dirtied.

However, even if you have been unfortunate and gotten your boots stained in some way, please do not despair. There are various ways to get them clean and as good as new again. Therefore you can go ahead and wear your UGGs with abandon and as much as you like. By paying attention to the following stain removal procedures that have been gathered from lots of experienced UGG boot owners, you can ensure your boots a long life. While these procedures have been tried, tested and generously shared by other UGG users, perhaps you will also discover a unique way to clean your own footwear.
The following stain removal procedures are arranged according to difficulty:
1. Water Stains: You are probably aware that UGG boots are not waterproof and therefore should not get wet, even if you have sprayed them carefully with water repellent. However, if your boots are wet, it is better to wash them instead of waiting for them to dry. Wet, but do not soak, the boots in cold water until the boots are evenly wet. When done you can hang them on a drying stand. Alternatively you can stuff them with a rolled towel. No matter what you do, you should not expose your beloved possessions to direct heat, for example hair dryers are a big no.
2. Scuff Marks - While scuff marks can be caused by a wide variety of things, they are best removed with an old toothbrush or a clean towel. You may also consider a soft brush to get rid of the dirt.
3. Other Stains - Depending on the type of stain, you may also consider cleaning your sheepskin boots in cold water and shampoo them with a detergent made for leather. Any excess water should be dried off as explained in the section about water stains. Another popular method is to put a layer of baby powder on the oil stain and to let it sit for a few days. For other stains you may consider a combination of water and vinegar, though there is a risk that this method may discolor or damage your shoes if you not done properly. All these processes can be repeated if necessary.
There are also a wide variety of sheepskin leather cleaners on the market. Some are made by rather unknown companies, so you may want to see if your boot manufacturer has a recommended product. Once your boots have been properly cleaned, make sure to spray them again with water repellent to protect them from future damage.
