What to do if the ugg upper is dirty? How to deal with watermarks on ugg shoes?

UGG snow boots are very classic. Many celebrities and internet celebrities like to wear UGG snow boots. The quality of UGG is indeed very good. The genuine UGG is made of wool. If you don’t maintain it well, the UGG snow boots may be ruined.

When cleaning ugg shoes. First, wet a clean towel with water and mainly wipe the outside of the shoes. Use cold water or a special cleaning brush to clean. For particularly dirty places, use an eraser to wipe first. Then use a brush to gently scrub several times. This can achieve a deep cleaning effect. Then use a clean sponge dipped in a small amount of detergent to scrub. Do not use excessive force, otherwise, too much force may damage the leather. After cleaning. Use a hanger or newspaper ball to stuff the shoes into it to prop up the inside of the shoes and play a shaping role. Dry in a ventilated and dry environment, but not directly exposed to strong light, this is to avoid yellowing.

1. Clean the soles and remove the dust stains on the uppers

Before putting the boots into the water, brush the upper with a wire brush to remove the dust stains on the upper, which will help the boots to be washed in the water. Then use a hard-bristled brush with soap to clean the sole and the edge of the shoe to prevent the stains on the sole from causing secondary contamination to the upper.

2. Overall water cleaning

Prepare a basin of warm water (water temperature 40-50 degrees Celsius), pour the leather cleaner into the basin and stir evenly (about 20 ml of leather cleaner), immerse all the boots in water for 5 minutes, then use a soft-bristle brush to brush the entire shoe surface. At this time, the colored watermarks will slowly disperse. After brushing, dehydrate the boots. After dehydration, the watermarks on the boots will basically disappear completely.

3. Rinse

Prepare a basin of warm water (water temperature 40-50 degrees Celsius), add glacial acetic acid (the amount of glacial acetic acid is 3/1000 to 5/1000 of the water volume) to the water, stir evenly, soak the boots for 10 minutes, brush them again after soaking, and then dehydrate them. At this time, the watermarks on the boots have completely disappeared.

4. Fat Addition

The leather will become hard after soaking in water, so we need to add fat to the leather to soften it. Prepare 300-400 ml of warm water (water temperature 40-50 degrees Celsius) to completely wet the boots. If there is too much water, the amount of softener will increase, causing waste. Add about 20% softener (60 ml-80 ml) to the water and soak the boots in it for about 20 minutes. Then dehydrate the boots. After dehydration, the boots will become obviously softer. At this time, we need to shape the boots. We can use shoe trees to support the boots, and dry towels can be stuffed into the places that cannot be supported. After the boots are shaped, use a wire brush to sort the velvet. After sorting the velvet, let the shoes dry naturally. After the shoes are shaped, take out the stuffed towels, which will help speed up the drying of the shoes. Boots cannot be blown dry with a hair dryer. If a hair dryer is used, the drying will be uneven and watermarks will appear again. To prevent watermarks from forming again during the drying process, you can wrap the entire boot with a napkin. Even if there is floating color on the upper, it will be absorbed into the napkin and will not cause color gathering.

5. Color enhancement and maintenance

After soaking and washing the boots, the color will become lighter. At this time, we need to enhance the color of the boots. If the customer does not require coloring, we do not need to take the color enhancement method. At this time, we can use a softening agent (softening agent can enhance the color) to enhance the color of the boots. Mix the softening agent and warm water in a ratio of 1:5, spray it evenly on the shoe surface with a spray gun, and let it dry naturally after spraying.

6. Color Fixation and Flannel Treatment

If the requirements are not high, we can finish the color enhancement and maintenance steps, and the work of removing the watermarks from the boots can be completed. If the requirements are relatively high, we still need to fix the color. For color fixation, we use suede leather color fixation agent (the color fixation agent can play a good role in dust and water resistance, and can also play a role in color adjustment) for spraying. The color fixation agent does not need to be diluted with water, just pour it directly into the spray gun for spraying. After spraying, use a velvet brush to sort the velvet, and then leave it to dry naturally. Through the above six steps, the watermarks caused by the color of the snow boots can be completely removed, making the boots look brand new. But there are a few points that need to be paid special attention to during the operation:

1. The water used to mix the solvent must be 40-50 degrees Celsius warm water. If the water temperature is too high or too low, the solvent cannot play a good role.

2. After adding fat and before drying, be sure to shape the boots so that they will be fuller after drying.

3. The boots must be dried naturally. Do not use a hair dryer to save time. If you use a hair dryer, watermarks will still appear.

If the snow boots you buy do not have a waterproof coating, you can use a waterproof spray to increase the waterproofness of the shoes. Just spray the spray on the surface of the boots and let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the snow to dry naturally on the floor of the boots. Since the waterproofness of the boots is enhanced, the chance of the boots being damaged by external stains can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the boots. If the boots are accidentally wet, you must wait for the boots to dry before spraying a new protective coating. However, it is best to spray the boots with a waterproof spray within a few hours after the boots are purchased.

1. Do not soak the shoe body. If there are stains, wet it with clean water.

2. Do not use any detergent containing bleach, but must use a special detergent for sheepskin.

3. After cleaning, the snow boots must be placed in a cool place to dry, do not use any method to heat and dry, and do not expose them to the sun.

4. The cleaning process must be done manually and cannot be dry cleaned.

5. Sheepskin material is relatively soft. When you are not wearing snow boots, don't forget to put the snow boots shoe tree inside the boots to keep the boots upright and stylish.
