Faded UGG Boots

RE: Faded UGG Boots Post by purrplekat (34) | (02/21/2008) Contact Get a suede brush, either nylon or metal bristles; could be that the 'fading' you see is just a buildup of salt crystals on the suede that just need to be brushed off. When salt is diluted and spread on a surface then dried, it leaves a whitish haze that could be mistaken for fading. I have had better luck cleaning it from suede than leather, which tends to absorb the moisture and leave a border of salt crystals imbedded in the leather. Good luck; start out gentle, then if you determine it to be a lost cause you can be rough and see if that will work.

You might also think about using a metal brush (like the kind you use to remove old paint), then scrub the pile of the suede with the brush... Brushing will not only help the pile of the suede look better, it will also help clean off any dust & dried on dirt. Next, (& this is the unconventional part) I'd go to a place that sells dried & silk flowers, They sell this wonderful TRANSPARENT (permanent) coloring spray for dried flowers... My granddaughter's Uggs are light pink. I don't know what color yours are, but this stuff comes in many, many colors... (If I were doing her Uggs, I'd buy a light pink color) It's in a spray can (don't buy the stuff in a pump bottle, as this kind splatters)... It's looks like a "spray paint", but it acts more like a dye... because of it's transparency... This transparent dye/paint could really freshen up your Uggs... If it were me, I'd buy the same color as the boots were originally... You can always add a second coat to darken them up a bit if you like. When they are totally dry, brush them with the scrub brush again to help lift up the pile of the suede. (or fake suede, whatever they are made of). * If you don't like the idea of going through all this hassle, then look in your local yellow pages under "Boot Repair" or "Shoe Repair"... These shoe & boot repairmen can really work wonders... Why not let them have ago at it? Report Spam or Abuse Request: Faded UGG Boots Post by Laurel_admin (207) | (02/21/2008) Contact I am trying to find out how to get a faded mark off my UGG boots. I cleaned a stain with the UGG's cleaner and conditoner, and it got the stain out but left a faded circle in its place. I didn't follow the instructions correctly on the cleaner and conditioner which caused this faded spot. It is white circle on my otherwise perfectly clean UGGs. Any suggestions? I think I didn't dilute the product with water before applying it to the UGGs, I just applied it straight from the bottle without water and that caused this faded mark. Any help would be appreciated. KG from Queen, NY Answers: RE: Faded UGG Boots You aren't supposed to "spot clean" your boots. When you use the cleaner and conditioner you are supposed to wet the entire boot. I don't know if that would make a difference or not. (01/09/2007) By Shan RE: Faded UGG Boots This is only a suggestion so please investigate further but I think the best thing to do is to wet and clean the whole boot (with proper cleaner) and let it dry naturally. Hope this helps. (06/06/2007) By Rachael RE: Faded UGG Boots Take it to a professional. (12/05/2007) By me Report Spam or Abuse
