Removing Wax from UGG Boots

You’re eating at your favorite restaurant and an accident at the table causes the candle to fall and melted wax spills on your UGG boots. Perhaps you dripped wax from a candle in your home or maybe you spilled wax while making your own candles. Regardless of how it happened, you now have a nasty wax stain on your favorite boots and have to find a way to remove it!
Wax stains are different than the ones caused by dirt, oil, and water. Because the wax hardens on the surface of the boot it will adhere in a way that makes cleaning much more difficult.
There are two main ways to approach removing a wax stain. One is to use cold and the other is to use heat.
Let’s look at cold first. If you apply ice to your boot, or even put it in the freezer, the cold will cause the wax to finish hardening and eventually constrict. This should make it easier to carefully and gently scrape the hardened wax off of your boot. Make sure you wrap your boot in a plastic bag before putting it in the freezer (to protect both your boot and your food) or, if it will not fit, use ice packs to freeze the area in question.
If the freezing does not work you could try applying heat to the wax. The heat will, of course, melt the wax and may cause it to spread, so you must use extreme caution when using this technique. Heat a small area of wax and try to absorb it before moving on to the next section. Using heat to remove the wax will likely still leave a stain on the suede - but the wax itself will be gone.
Use care in attempting to remove the wax stain from your UGGs and you’ll be able to save them from total ruin!
