Does anyone know where I can get my uggs cleaned professionally?

I got my first pair of real ugg boots in October and have been wearing them almost non stop since! I wish I'd known before how warm and snuggly the real uggs are because if I had, I would have invested sooner.

Anyway we live semi rurally and my uggs need cleaning as they are a bit dirty and dull looking.

What do people do re cleaning them? If there was a way to get them cleaned professionally I would be interested in looking in to that. Would a dry cleaners clean them for example?

I have Bailey Bombers and put them in the washing machine on a wool cycle with a small amount of wool detergent. Let them dry naturally on sunny windowsill and then brushed them with a suede brush. Came up like new. I read about it on internet and was reluctant to try initially but have washed multiple times.

I need to buy a replacement pair now as I've worn these so much they're on their last legs but I must have had them for 10+ years. I was so resistant to buying them to begin with because of the cost but such a good investment when I think of how much wear I've had from them. I'll keep my old worn out pair for round the house/garden in winter and keep new pair for best.

I've also used suede/nubuck foam cleaner & protector spray on them

Thanks guys. I don't think I'm brave enough to put them in the washing machine on a wool cycle unfortunately! Much as I would love to.

I could go down the suede nubuck leather cleaner route and get replacenent furry insoles i suppose??

Does the suede cleaner change the external colour of the boots?

Washing machine all the way

Tie them in a pillow case, they'll be fine
