You finally treat your feet to a stylin' pair of sheepskin boots to trek through the winter. Now that you've got them, make sure you keep your pretty boots looking good. Preventing stains is the name of the game, because once your sheepskin boots have stains you probably won't get them out. Take care of your boots and they'll stay smart-looking season after season.
1.
Spray your brand-new sheepskin boots with the stain and water repellent before you wear them even one time. This will prevent many stains that you may never get out. Hold the spray can about 6 inches away from the boots and spray the entire outside of the boots until the sheepskin is completely wet.
2.
Place the boots in a spot where they can dry. Don't place them near any heat sources or in direct sunlight, though. Let them dry there until they are completely dry. Drying should take about 24 hours.
3.
Brush the sheepskin with the suede brush. Work your way around the surface of both boots with the brush.
4.
Got a stain? Treat it right away by hand-washing your boots. Get the stain wet with cool water and apply a diluted sheepskin soap to a clean cloth, working it up into a lather. Rub the stain gently with the sudsy cloth to work at the stain, but don't rub so hard that you damage the delicate sheepskin. Rinse away the soap and stuff the boot with paper towels to make sure it holds its shape while it dries. Let your boot dry and then brush the sheepskin with the suede brush.
5.
Spray the boots again with the stain and water repellent after you wash them.
