Instructions for Removing the Red Wine Stain from UGGs
- Mix equal parts cornstarch and baking soda in a bowl. Slowly add water to the mixture until it forms a thick paste.
- Apply paste onto the affected area of the UGG's surface and rub it into the material using a damp cloth.
- Let the paste sit for 15-20 minutes. Then, use a wet cloth to wipe it away.
- If you still see some residual stain, soak the stained area in a mixture of four cups of warm water and a quarter cup of white vinegar.
- Rub the cloth over the area as you are soaking it. Finally, rinse off your UGG boots and let them air dry.
Tips for Keeping Your UGGS Stain Free
- Use a protective spray or waterproofing agent on your UGG boots to repel liquid and prevent staining. Spray the boots before wearing them to ensure any liquids that land on them will bead up and can be easily wiped off.
- Spot clean any stains as soon as possible. The longer you wait to address them, the more difficult they will be to remove.
- When Hiking, make sure to wear the right socks. If a pair of socks without a proper wicking system is worn, then sweat can accumulate and damage the lining of the UGGs.
