How to Clean Bearpaw and Sheepskin Boots

Ugg boots are made by many different companies, but common to them all is that they are made of sheepskin and lined with wool on the inside and with a tanned outer surface. While UGG Australia is perhaps the best known brand among the sheepskin boot producers, there are many other competing companies that make similar boots. Generally speaking UGG Australia makes boots that are higher priced than its competitors, which include Bearpaw, Fitzwell, EMU, Lugz, Old Friend, and Minnetonka.

However, no matter which sheepskin brand you have chosen, unfortunately sometimes they get dirty. Most commonly they get damaged due to rain or water. Unfortunately sheepskin boots are not waterproof.

The best way to take care of your sheepskin boots is to buy cleaning and water repellent sprays specifically made for sheepskin footwear. However, you may also consider the following 5 steps:

1. Wet the boots, however do not soak them.

2. Clean the suede upper with a soft, damp cloth. Alternatively a soft brush or sponge may be used.

3. Clean the sheepskin trim and lining in the same way as you cleaned the suede upper, but in addition a special shampoo for sheepskin is needed.

4. The boots should be dried naturally in a well-ventilated area. You may stuff the boots with paper towels so they will not lose their shape.

5. Once the boots are successfully cleaned, make sure to spray the boots with stain and water repellent spray.

It does not really matter if your are looking to clean boots made by Bearpaw, Fitzwell, EMU, Lugz, Old Friend, Minnetonka, or UGG Australia. As long as the boots are made of sheepskin, normally the same cleaning procedure should be followed. The above steps may need to be repeated in certain circumstances, and more advanced cleaning may be necessary for more serious stains.
