how to clean ugg tasmans

To clean UGG Tasman slippers, use a gentle, suede‑safe routine: brush off dry dirt, lightly clean with a suede/sheepskin cleaner and water, then let them air‑dry away from heat before brushing the nap back up. This protects the delicate suede and sheepskin so they stay soft and last longer.

Quick Scoop

  • Never machine‑wash Tasmans or soak them; the suede and sheepskin can warp, harden, or shrink.
  • Use products made for suede/sheepskin (or very mild soap) and the softest brush or sponge you have.
  • Always dry them slowly at room temperature, stuffed with paper to hold shape, and away from sunlight or heaters.

What You’ll Need

  • Soft suede brush or shoe brush; a clean, dry cloth or microfiber towel.
  • UGG Cleaner & Conditioner or another suede/sheepskin cleaner; alternatively, a tiny amount of mild liquid soap.
  • Paper towels or plain paper to stuff inside while drying.
  • Optional: suede eraser/dry suede kit for scuffs and water marks.
  • Optional: UGG stain & water repellent spray for after cleaning.

Step‑by‑Step: Upper Suede

  1. Gently dry‑brush
    • Make sure your Tasmans are completely dry first.
 * Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust, brushing in one direction.
  1. Lightly dampen, don’t soak
    • Lightly mist or wipe the suede with cold water so the surface is just damp, not dripping.
 * Try to dampen the whole upper evenly to avoid tide lines.
  1. Clean with solution
    • Mix cleaner with water as directed (or a few drops of mild soap in a bowl of cold water).
 * Dip a soft brush or sponge in the solution, then gently scrub the suede in small circles, working over the entire shoe.

 * Blot often with a microfiber towel so the suede doesn’t get oversaturated.
  1. Rinse and shape
    • Wipe the slippers with a clean, damp cloth to remove cleaner residue.
 * Lightly stuff them with paper so they keep their rounded shape.
  1. Air‑dry correctly
    • Let them dry naturally for at least 24 hours in a cool, shaded, ventilated spot.
 * Avoid radiators, hairdryers, or direct sun, which can stiffen and fade suede.
  1. Restore the nap
    • Once fully dry, brush the suede gently in one direction to bring back that soft, velvety texture.
 * For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser, then re‑brush.

Inside Liner & Soles

  • Sheepskin liner
    • Lightly spot‑clean with a damp microfiber towel and a very small amount of cleaner, then blot as you go.
* Do not soak the lining; let it air‑dry completely before wearing again.
  • EVA soles
    • Use a medium brush and the same cleaning solution to scrub the sidewalls and bottom.
* Wipe with a damp cloth to remove soap, then let dry with the rest of the slipper.

Aftercare & Stain Prevention

  • Once clean and fully dry, apply a stain & water repellent made for UGG/suede from about 6 inches away, then let dry 24 hours.
  • Brush again to keep the nap lifted, and repeat repellent every few wears during wet seasons.
  • Store them in a cool, dry place, stuffed with paper, and avoid crushing the suede in tight spaces.
