Putting Ugg's in the Washing Machine?

MentalMinnie

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but couldn't find anywhere more suitable!

I have a pair of knitted Ugg's and frankly they need cleaning! I wondered if anyone else had the knitted one's and had machine washed them? Thinking a wool wash might be ok??? :cool:

Isn't there a ticket inside them to advise?

Says to wipe clean with a cloth. Not really gonna help though

I would.

But then that's coming from someone who managed to get an Ikea chair into the machine once. :rotfl:

I'd put them in on the most gentle (that's not necessarily wool) option you have on your machine.

Put them in a pillow case with an old towel to stop them bashing about so much.

On a gentle wash with the lowest spin setting your machine has (mines has a handwash setting... if you have something similar then maybe try this)

Just an idea (never tried so don't blame me!) but how about using a foaming carpet/upholstery type cleaner?

With this kind of thing, my view would be that if I wasn't going to wear them in the state they're in then what's the harm in trying. I've had some "dry clean only" stuff I'd never go to the trouble/expense of dry cleaning so I've chucked them in the wash and they've been alright. They'd only sit in the wash pile dirty forever otherwise!

Gonna give a whirl (excuse the pun!) tonight.

I've read about people with the normal Ugg's putting them in the wash and they've come out fine. Fingers crossed.
