Fixing the Uggs.

It is a myth that Uggs cannot be cleaned.  Here is how I do it.

1. Remove the footbeds. Just replace them. This alone will make your Uggs feel like new.

2. Throw your boots in your washing machine. Set you cycle to be tge most gentle on your machine. We had the privlege of replacing our clunky old washer dryer combo this year when it stopped drying our clothing. We purchashed a set of stackables by LG. It has a setting called handwash/wool which is ideal for this purpose. Add just a quarter of the soap you normally do. Set the water temperature to cold.

3. When the cycle is done stuff each boot loosely with newspaper and use your hands to shape the wet leather to the shape you want. The newspaper will work to maintain a nice shape and hold the boot open for ventilation. So use enough to hold the shape but no more.

4. Place them in a warm spot to dry. It might take a couple days but the results will be awesome.
