MelSyd Sheepskin Boots Care Guide

Proper care is essential to preserving the premium A-Grade Australian Merino sheepskin of your MelSyd boots. Follow our expert step-by-step guide to keep your boots looking new for years.

Step 1: Preparation

Before cleaning, ensure your boots are completely dry. Prepare a professional sheepskin cleaner, a soft suede brush, and a clean sponge.

Step 2: Dry Brushing

Gently brush the surface of the boots with a soft suede brush in one direction. This removes loose dust and restores the natural “nap” of the suede.

Step 3: Moistening the Surface

Moisten the exterior of the boot with a clean, damp sponge. Be careful not to soak the leather; the goal is to make it slightly damp for even cleaning.

Step 4: DIY Cleaning Solution

If you don’t have a professional cleaner, you can create a gentle DIY solution. Mix cold water and white vinegar in a 1:1 ratio. This mixture helps neutralize odors and break down stains without damaging the delicate sheepskin.

Step 5: Applying Cleaner

Apply a small amount of specialized sheepskin cleaner to a wet sponge. Squeeze the sponge until it foams.

Step 6: Gentle Scrubbing

Gently scrub the surface of the boots in circular motions. Focus on stained areas but clean the entire surface to ensure color consistency after drying.

Step 7: Rinsing with Sponge

Use a clean, damp sponge (with fresh water) to wipe away any residue. Ensure no cleaner or vinegar mixture remains on the leather surface.

Step 8: Blotting Excess Water

Use a clean, dry towel to gently press and blot away excess moisture from the surface. Do not wring or twist the boots.

Step 9: Shape Restoration & Natural Air Drying

Stuff the boots with clean paper towels or a boot tree to help them maintain their original shape as they dry. Let the boots dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated space for at least 24 hours. Crucial: Keep them away from direct sunlight, heaters, or hair dryers.

Step 10: Final Brushing

Once the boots are completely dry, use the suede brush again to gently brush the fleece. This will bring back the original soft texture and luster.

Step 11: Protective Spray

Apply a sheepskin water and stain repellent spray for future protection. Spray evenly from about 20cm away.

Step 12: Fresh & Ready

Your MelSyd boots are now clean, soft, and ready for your next adventure! Regular maintenance extends the life of your A-Grade Merino sheepskin.
