Once the boots are dry, you can once again use the suede brush. It will help to remove the spools and "lay" the pile. It is recommended to apply a special mud and water repellent spray or a simple protective spray for suede. This will help to keep the ugg cleanliness longer and will allow you to resort to cleaning them much less frequently.
