How to Make Uggs Smell Better Overnight

Uggs are even a hit on the red carpet.

Ugg Australia is known worldwide for their wildly popular suede and sheepskin boots and slippers, which can be seen on the fashion elite from Paris to New York. For those opposed to these materials, the company also produces woven and quilted boots and slippers. Ugg footwear is made to be worn in the toughest, dirtiest of climates. While it's possible to spot clean these shoes, they cannot be thrown in the washer for a good cleaning, no matter how smelly they become. Transform smelly Uggs overnight, with a few simple steps that won't damage the shoes.

Things You'll Need

• 2 tbsp. baking soda
• 2 tbsp. corn flour
• Small bowl
• Plastic bag
• Garbage pan
• Suede brush

Instructions

1. Mix 2 tbsp. baking soda with 2 tbsp. corn flour in a small bowl.

2. Pour the mixture into the top of the Ugg boots, and shake them to evenly disperse the deodorizing powder throughout the inside. If you own Ugg slippers, place them into a plastic bag filled with the deodorizing powder, and shake the shoes until they are well-coated.

3. Allow the deodorizing powder to set on the Uggs overnight.

4. Shake out the powder from the boots over a garbage pan, and brush off excess powder from slippers with a suede brush.

Tips & Warnings

• Brush off the deodorizing powder gently in one direction when working with sheepskin or suede.

• Apply a spritz or two of scented fabric deodorizer to the shoes, if desired.

• Do not spray fabric deodorizer directly onto the material of your Uggs, as this can stain the fabric.
