Before You Start

Test cleaners on a small inconspicuous area first to check color fastness. Brush away loose dirt before applying moisture. Use a cool, ventilated area for cleaning and drying. Do not machine wash or submerge UGG fur, and never place items near direct heat sources. Follow the product labels for safe use and contact information in case of skin sensitivities or residue concerns.

Estimated time: 20–40 minutes for routine cleaning, longer for tougher stains. Expect several hours of drying time in a well-ventilated space.

Step-By-Step: How To Clean UGG Fur

Prepare your workspace and lay out a clean, dry towel. Remove loose dirt with the sheepskin care brush for UGG boots and jackets.
Lightly shake out the boots or jacket to remove surface dust and debris before applying cleaners.
Apply a small amount of the water-based UGG fur cleaner spray for boots to a clean cloth or sponge, not directly onto the fur.
Gently dab and roll the cloth over stained or soiled areas, avoiding soaking the fur. Work in small sections for even cleaning.
Wipe away any excess cleaner with a dry cloth, then blot with a dry towel to lift moisture.
For deeper jobs, follow the cleaner’s directions using the Ugg sheepskin boot cleaner kit for fur care as recommended by the kit instructions.
Finish by brushing the nap in the direction of the grain to restore the fluffy texture.
Air dry items away from heat or direct sunlight. Use a fan to speed up drying if needed, but avoid heat sources.
Once dry, repeat brushing to refresh the nap and remove any remaining residues.
Store items in a breathable bag or cover to prevent future dust accumulation.
For persistent odors or stains, repeat steps with appropriate care and consult product guidelines if unsure.

Call A Professional

Consider professional help if the item shows persistent staining, severe odor, or significant nap damage. Stop cleaning and consult a specialist if the fibers appear matted or if color fading worsens after cleaning. Seek professional care for delicate jackets or highly valued pieces with complex fur coatings.

FAQ

Can I use regular fabric cleaner on UGG fur?

Only if the manufacturer approves it; use dedicated UGG fur cleaners or the kit designed for fur care to avoid damage.

How often should I clean UGG fur?

Light brushing after regular wear and spot-cleaning as needed is usually enough; deep cleaning every few months or when soiled is typical, depending on use.

Is it safe to machine-dry UGG fur?

No. Direct heat in a dryer can damage fibers and ruin the nap; air drying is recommended.

Will cleaning remove odors?

Light odors can improve with cleaning and drying; persistent smells may require deodorizing steps or professional cleaning.

What if the nap looks flat after cleaning?

Gently brush the fur to lift fibers and restore volume once completely dry.

Buying Guide

When selecting cleaning solutions and tools for UGG fur, consider size and compatibility with your items. Look for a kit that includes a dedicated fur cleaner, a soft brush, and clear usage instructions. Noise level and energy use are less critical for home use, but choose products with simple spray action and easy brush design for faster results. Pay attention to whether cleaners are water-based, as they tend to be gentler on sheepskin. Placement matters: clean in a well-ventilated area and allow ample drying space. For best results, compare how the kit aligns with your care routine and whether it can handle both boots and jackets.
