I'm not sure of the proper name, but there is something you can buy (like a buffer)- I call it an Ugg eraser. It will bring back the some of the softness to your Uggs... obviously they won't be as soft as if you bought them brand new, but they won't be stiff anymore. I used this on mine after washing them in the washing machine and it worked.

i just washed my cardy uggs in a regular washing machine and dryer (they are brand new. i only washed them because like a dummy i wore them in the snow on(11/21) friday and salt got all over them). i simply put the washer on a delicate cycle with regular detergent and filled it with clothes. i put the uggs on the outside of the machine and sum sheets near the center. when they were done i simply put them in the dryer on a low heat setting with the cardboard shapers inside (yes, inside the wet boot) and let them dry. i didnt let them finish the cycle cuz i was too excited to see how they looked. the inside was barely damp but fluffy just like new. (i hate when they get them imprint of my foot. lol!) the best part was that unlike the classics they had no creases. when you u wash the classics if you stuff them with plastic bags or wrap the shapers they came with in plastic then wash and dry them they will also look new. without creases!

Seeing this old thread reminded me that I wanted to try this on my Uggs. I did them over the weekend in a regular old fashioned washer and dryer, wrapped inside a blanket. I used the regular amount of soap for a load of laundry, did them on regular warm wash, and took them out of the dryer halfway through running. They came out fine, a little damp on the inside but that dried in two days. Last night I put a pair of the replacement insoles Ugg makes inside and they felt good as new. I was amazed.

One thing though, I think they got smaller around the calf. Is that possible?

Nevertheless, I like them better this way. They were pretty much dead before now!

i followed the OP's instructions and it worked for mine! total drying time in dryer was only 40 minutes on low heat. they came out damp and dried in a day.

Oh SUPER! :) My UGGs are a bit large..I have such tiny feet..maybe I'll try washing them only for shrinkage :graucho: I'm about to buy new ones in a smaller size..therefore the old ones could be the perfect pair for testing this theory..

try this at your own risk..but this is what i do to clean mine. I put my uggs in the sink filled with very warm (but not HOT) water and a gentle cleanser. Ive used liquid laundry soap before. Wash them with your hands, squish them, but dont really just leave them to soak forever. Then drain the water, (it will have lots of dye) and refill sink with cool water and rinse. They are a bit tough to rinse, so youll want to repeat the rinsing a few times. Then squeeze out as much water as you can, and stuff boots with thick shop towels or cotton towels. let air dry (change the towels once or twice with dry ones) I leave them stuffed to dry to regain their shape. After they are dry they will be very stiff and rough feeling, but i just brush them with a suede type brush and it makes them soft again. works great for me...hope this helps

I just washed my 4 year old sand Uggs and they came out great. I used a brush and protector and I'm super glad I did; they look revived and some of the old stains came out too.

So yeah... i've heard that many people did it and they turned out fine. My UGG slippers are really old and dirty, so i figured WHADDA HEY?!
I threw them into my top load washing machine with half a cup of tide detergent with downy fabric softener in it.
idc what people think... and i dont really care for the ugg cleaners
i hope they turn out fine :)
i'll be back in a couple of hours to tell you how they turned out!
