Maintenance 101: How to Care for Your Premium Shoes (UGG Suede)

18 hours ago

There’s nothing better than slipping into a fresh pair of UGGs—but if you’ve had yours for a while, you know how quickly suede can pick up dirt, water spots, and random mystery stains. The good news? With the right tools, it’s super easy to bring them back to life.

Suede might feel soft and cozy, but it’s also delicate. Dirt, oils, and water stains can settle into the material fast, which makes it harder to clean later. Regular maintenance not only keeps your shoes looking good, but it also extends their life, so you can get the most out of your investment.

Before you dive into cleaning, proper prep is key. In the video below, we’ll walk you through how to prep your UGGs before cleaning using a well-loved pair of UGG Tasman slippers and the Jason Markk Quick Clean Kit.

Once you’ve mastered the prep, scroll down for the full step-by-step guide to get your UGGs looking like new.

What You’ll Need

- Jason Markk Quick Clean Kit (comes with cleaner + brush)
- A clean towel or microfiber cloth
- Warm water
- Optional: UGG Sheepskin Protector for extra protection

Step-by-Step: Cleaning Your UGGs

Watch the video above to see the full process in action. Here’s a quick breakdown of what we did:

1. Prep Your Shoes (this step is in the video)

Give your UGGs a quick dry brush and suede eraser to knock off loose dirt. Stuff them with a towel or paper so they hold their shape while you clean.

2. Lather and Scrub

Dip the brush into warm water, then add a little bit of the Jason Markk cleaning solution. Using gentle circular motions, scrub the suede to work up a light lather.

Pro tip: don’t soak the suede—too much water can leave marks.

3. Wipe and Repeat

Blot away the dirty foam and extra moisture with your towel. If you’ve got stubborn spots, repeat the scrubbing step.

4. Air Dry

Let your UGGs dry naturally—no heaters or hair dryers. Once they’re completely dry, give them a final brush to bring back that soft, buttery texture.

Keep Them Looking Fresh

A little extra care goes a long way:

- Spray with protector regularly to shield against future stains.
- Brush them out after wear to keep the nap smooth.
- Store in a cool, dry place to avoid damage.
