UGGS and the washing machine!

[lindacris]

I've washed mine for years. They do really well. The only thing is if you are washing them to get rid of a foot odor then that doesn't help it much. I guess because so little exposure is given to the inside sheepskin during the washing.

haha pretty good!! glad they came out okay!

They came out looking really good. I'm about to throw my Uggs in the washing machine as well cause they're so dirty.

 

[jackiefashion]

i just tried it with my chestnut pair, they're drying now...we'll see how they come out!

 

[BagsRmyLife]

WOW!! Thats crazy!!

Jackie post your uggs too! I wanna see more pictures!

I read through this expecting a tragedy, but it turned out great. I'm glad it didn't ruin your boots lol.

Is it definitely not recommanded to use a washer that is not front loading?
I don't have a front loading washing machine but I really want to try this on my filthy and super old baby pink uggs. I got them when they first made the pink color and when uggs were still made in new zealand!

Well the care tag inside the box says don't machine wash so Im sure it really doesn't matter if its front loading or top load cuz technically they say don't do it...but hers came out good so why not try it?

i am guessing the agitator in a top loading washer would beat the heck out of your boots, maybe even rip them. the front loaders are easier on items. i just upgraded to a front loader and am so glad i did. i think i'll wash my clogs! my boots are still cleanish.

ohh Im excited to see too! My sand ones could use a good washing- since you had such luck I may be trying this!

my mom also threw my sand uggs of 3 years in the washing machine (without my permission). i was about to have a heart attack when i found out, but after letting them dry naturally, they look good as new. (my mom didn't use the ugg cleaner beforehand)

I have a top loader washing machine, I washed my brown pair and it turned out great, they get a tad smaller like to their pre-stretched out size.

When I was a kid mum used to throw my uggs into the wash on gentle cycle with a bit of wool detergent and they came out fine

Alright ladies, against my better judgement, I washed two pairs of UGGS in the washing machine. I must have had too much wine as well, because I washed a light AND black pair together (you can imagine the outcome). Now, as if it wasn't bad enough that my light ones are discolored from the black, they are BOTH very stiff now.

Is there anything I can do to get the softness back, or am I just screwed for my stupidity??

 

[Sophie-Rose]

o no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dropped melted cheese on mine yesterday, and went into a BLIND PANIC! so I feel your pain.

If I were you I'd wash the light ones again - ON THEIR OWN, to try and get as much of the black out as possible!
- put them on a COLD wash!!!
