UGG boots, they are just ugg boots, very comfortable and soft. Unfortunately, they tend to absorb bad odors, especially after prolonged wear. However, it is very easy to get rid of it, and it is even easier to take measures so that it does not appear. After cleaning your ugg boots, take a few minutes to eliminate the unpleasant odor.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Eliminate odor

1. 1 Pour equal amounts of baking soda and cornstarch into a small bowl. Two teaspoons (10 grams) of each ingredient should be sufficient. Soda and cornstarch are excellent odor absorbers.
   • If you can't find cornstarch, use fine cornmeal instead. Do not use coarse flour.
2. 2 Add 2-3 drops of your favorite essential oil if you want to give your ugg boots a pleasant scent. Use something fresh like lavender, mint, or eucalyptus. Tea tree essential oil not only smells fresh, but also has a good antibacterial effect.
3. 3 Combine the ingredients with a fork. Make sure you knead all the lumps well. If you are using an essential oil, be sure to stir it evenly with baking soda and starch.
4. 4 Pour the mixture into each boot. Try to divide it equally between the boots. If you've washed your ugg boots before, make sure they are completely dry first.
5. 5 Take the boot by the boot and shake it. This will distribute the mixture all over the inside of the boot. Be sure to shake the boot back and forth to get the mixture into the toe area.
6. 6 Leave the powder in your shoes overnight. During this time, soda and cornstarch will absorb all unpleasant odors. If the ugg boots smell too strong, leave the mixture inside for 24 hours.
7. 7 The next day, shake the mixture out of your boots into the trash can. If the unpleasant odor still persists, repeat the procedure. Keep in mind that boots cannot be saved in severe cases.
8. 8 Repeat this procedure periodically. Try to get rid of the unpleasant smell of ugg more often than you clean them.

Method 2 of 3: Using other methods to remove bad odor

1. 1 Use baking soda or activated carbon. Place two teaspoons (10 grams) of baking soda or activated charcoal into a small nylon bag. Leave the bag in the boot overnight and put it away the next day.
   • Like baking soda, activated carbon absorbs unpleasant odors. You can get it in pill form from your pet store or pharmacy.
2. 2 Leave two or three tea bags in your boot overnight. You can use any tea, but it is better to prefer a fresh tea, such as mint. Tea bags absorb unpleasant odors, leaving only a fresh scent.
3. 3 Place a tumble dryer in each boot overnight. The wipes will help get rid of unpleasant odors and leave a pleasant scent. However, use them with caution as they can cause an allergic reaction. If you have asthma, skip this method.
4. 4 After removing your ugg boots, place the sneaker balls in it. Like baking soda, special balls absorb unpleasant odors. They also prevent them from appearing.
5. 5 Use rubbing alcohol. Saturate a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol and wipe the inside of the boots. Do this carefully so that the inside does not get wet. The alcohol will kill odor-causing bacteria.

Method 3 of 3: Prevent bad odor

1. 1 Try to keep your boots dry and do not wear them if they are wet. Wet uggs are stinky uggs. When water gets inside the boots, bacteria that cause unpleasant odor begin to grow and multiply. If your shoes are wet, dry them completely before putting them back on.
   • Use a moisture barrier spray. This will help keep your boots dry throughout the winter.
2. 2 Change your shoes. Don't wear the same pair every day. Let the shoes sit for at least 24 hours before putting them back on. This will allow it to dry and ventilate a little. If you enjoy wearing ugg boots on a daily basis, consider purchasing a second pair as a replacement.
3. 3 Ventilate your boots after putting them on. This will allow them to dry faster. Remember, wet uggs are stinky uggs. If your boots got wet when you walked in them, then after taking them off, insert a piece of crumpled newspaper into each. The newspaper will absorb moisture and unpleasant odors.
4. 4 Change the insoles more often, especially when they start to smell. Buy special insoles that are labeled "antibacterial" or "wicking / absorbing odor". These insoles are specifically designed to keep bacteria from growing. With their help, your shoes will last longer.
5. 5 Wear ugg boots over your socks. Perhaps the manufacturer recommends wearing ugg boots on bare feet, but, unfortunately, this leads to increased sweating and the rapid growth of bacteria in the fur. Wear cotton or moisture-wicking socks with your ugg boots. This will keep your boots dry and sweat-free.
6. 6 Keep your feet hygienic. If your feet are sweating, wash them with antibacterial soap. This will help kill bacteria that cause bad odors. If your feet are prone to excessive sweating, use baby powder before putting on your shoes. It will absorb sweat.

Warnings

• Fake ugg boots are usually made from faux sheepskin, which absorbs unpleasant odors faster than natural sheepskin. This is because synthetic materials, unlike natural ones, do not "breathe" and retain sweat and unpleasant odors.
