1
Sprinkle talcum powder over the oil stain on your Ugg boots. Use enough powder to form a mound over the boots to absorb the oil. Leave the powder on the boots for 20 minutes, then brush it off. If the oil stain is large and a lot of oil remains in the suede, you can repeat this step two or three more times to absorb more of the oil.

Tips & Warnings
You can use baking soda, table salt or cornstarch as a substitute for talcum powder to remove the oil. Spray your Ugg suede boots with a suede protector to help repel stains and prevent stain material from absorbing into the natural surface.
