Why Cleaning Your Snow Boots is Important<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cleaning snow boots periodically can help you get more wear out of your boots. Salt, dirt and mud accumulated over winter wear can easily damage fabric snow boots.<\/p>\n

The first thing to consider though, are your boots worth cleaning? Old boots, especially if they have gotten damp, can be a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi. If you haven\u2019t taken proper care of them, and they are old and smelly, it may be time to replace them with a shiny new pair.<\/p>\n

Throughout winter you should wipe clean your boots to stop the build-up of salt and dirt, but it is worth performing a deep clean at the end of the season. Always check any care details that may be provided with your snow boots before cleaning to ensure they will not be damaged by any cleaning products you use.<\/p>\n

Cleaning the Outside of your Snow Boots<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most snow boots can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and usually have a rubber or synthetic sole which is super easy to clean.<\/p>\n

The below steps on how to clean snow boots can be followed for most snow boots, including Mountain Warehouse snow boots<\/a> (check the manufacturers recommendations if your snow boots are from another retailer).<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fill a bowl with warm water<\/li>\n
  2. Dampen a clean sponge and brush off any dirty on the uppers of the boot. For tougher dirt and stains you may need to use a footwear brush<\/li>\n
  3. Rinse sponge and use to clean off dirt on the soles of the boots<\/li>\n
  4. Allow your snow boots to air dry. Do not tumble dry or force them to dry faster by putting them near a heat source as this may damage the glue that holds the soles on<\/li>\n
  5. You might wish to stuff your snow boots with newspaper to draw out any moisture (be careful if the boots are a light colour that the print doesn\u2019t transfer)<\/li>\n
  6. If required you may wish to re-proof your snow boots by spraying the boots with a waterproofing spray. Spray evenly and again allow to dry naturally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
