Question
Answer

Sheepskin is naturally water resistant and therefore small amounts of moisture will not seep through or damage it. For further protection, treat products with UGG® Stain and Water Repellent.

To clean please carefully follow the below instruction:

Hand wash only. DO NOT use a washing machine.

Moisten entire surface of sheepskin footwear with clean, cold water.

Dilute Cleaner and Conditioner with 1/2 water and 1/2 Cleaner & Conditioner

Apply a small amount of diluted Cleaner & Conditioner to a clean, wet sponge. DO NOT apply Cleaner & Conditioner directly onto the footwear.

Gently scrub to clean entire area. Sheepskin has a delicate surface, which can be damaged if scrubbed aggressively, or with undiluted concentration.

Rinse in clean, cold water, do not soak boot.

Lightly stuff with paper to hold shape, and allow to dry naturally and slowly. DO NOT dry in direct heat or sunlight.

Once footwear is dry, lightly brush with with a very soft suede/nubuck brush in one direction only.

Please note that when properly used, UGG® Australia "Water & Stain Repellant"and "Cleaner & Conditioner" will help to prevent and/or remove/reduce stains. Like any fine garment, sheepskin is delicate and not all stains can be prevented or removed.

With proper care and cleaning, you can expect your footwear to last longer, but we do not guarantee that it will remove all stains nor prevent stains from occurring.

The presence of counterfeit products in the market place is an unfortunate reality for many luxury brands including UGG® Australia. Though we aggressively pursue removal of this product through various means, please be aware that there is counterfeit UGG® Australia product being offered to consumers, primarily through on-line websites, auction sites and trade boards. If you are viewing UGG® Australia product on-line anywhere other than uggaustralia.com and the domain name includes "UGG", or any variation of this word, or includes one of our style names in the domain address, e.g. "Cardy", this product is most certainly counterfeit. If you do not buy UGG® Australia product from uggaustralia.com or one of our authorized retailers listed in the Dealer Locator you should assume you are purchasing counterfeit product. Furthermore if you are purchasing on line and delivery to you is scheduled from anywhere other than the U.S. the product is suspect. Please review our Warranty section on the limitations to our assistance should you purchase counterfeit UGG® Australia product.
