How to Fix Smelly UGGs
The UGG brand of boots came into existence when Australian surfers sought footwear to keep their feet warm between surfing sessions, waiting for the next wave. Given the vast availability of sheepskin in Australia, surfers wore "hand-made basic sheepskin 'footies' for natural warmth, comfort and to wick away moisture." Once marketed in the late 1970s, UGGs became popular among surfers, skiers and those who choose a casual lifestyle. As an UGGs lover, you will face one foul challenge, keeping your beloved boots from becoming smelly or finding a way to remove odor if it sets in. Does this Spark an idea?

Tips & Warnings
Fill damp UGGs with paper towels to help absorb moisture. Add essential oil, such as a blend of tea tree, lemon and lavender, to create a pleasant scent for your clean UGGs. Some UGGs offer the option of inserting footbed liners. Check to see of the sole is detachable. Purchase footbed liners you can replace -- or even clean with soap and soaking -- once they become smelly. Purchase special cleaners from UGG. Use deodorizers or another type of fabric cleaner by spraying it into the boots. Allow the boots to dry naturally.
Don't wear your UGGs without socks. Don't put UGGs in washing machine. Hand wash only.
Don't put your UGGs in the clothes dryer, near a heat source or in direct sunlight.
