Apply solution to a wet sponge and gently clean boots' outer surface. Rinse with clean sponge dipped in cold water.

Stuff boots with paper towels or newspaper to hold shape and dry out of direct sunlight or direct heat. Direct sunlight or heat will cause shrinkage.

Use a mixture of 2 tsp. baking soda and 2 tsp. corn flour to deodorize and soften the inside of the boots. If you wish, you can add a few drops of an essential oil to create a sweet scent. Shake the mixture into the boots and let it stand overnight. Shake the excess out the next day.

Tips & Warnings
Cleaning and protection products available from Ugg include Ugg Sheepskin Cleaner and Conditioner.
Apply a water and stain-resistant coating to the boots to minimize stains and dirt, such as Ugg Sheepskin Water and Stain Repellent.
You can buy replacement insoles for Uggs - some of them washable - so if your boots have an odor problem consider replacing or washing the insoles.
Sometimes the boots will shrink slightly after washing. This is normal and you can expect them to stretch back out when you wear them.
Never put Ugg boots in the washing machine or dryer.
Most Ugg boots are intended for indoor wear. Keep away from extreme elements, such as rain and snow, to keep your boots in tip-top shape.

Okay, so I put them in the wash, and they are clean, but don't feel and look the same. They used to have that "soft" look now they look stiff, although they don't feel stiff when wearing. I also used a tad bit of detergant and I wonder if that had anything to do with them looking stiff? I guess if someone was gonna do it, it was gonna be ME lol -
