Instructions

    • 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.

      Brush the suede with a clean toothbrush after the final application of talcum powder to remove the powder completely.

    • 3

      Dampen a clean cloth with white vinegar. Brush the stained area of your Ugg boots with the vinegar to lift the rest of the oil and remove any accompanying odor. Press a dry cloth into the suede to absorb excess moisture. Allow your Ugg boots to dry completely.

      Brush the suede with the toothbrush to blend the nap and fluff up the suede fibers.

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.
