Why People on TikTok Are Cleaning Their Uggs with Dry Shampoo
People on social media are cleaning their Uggs with dry shampoo. Instagram and TikTok users have been sharing their experiences using the popular hair care product to get water and grease stains out of their suede Uggs.
A go-to for many in between hair washes, dry shampoo absorbs excess oil and grease to refresh strands without the need to get the hair wet. One user shared a video of herself using a spray formula on her boots on Instagram. “For the girl who said that dry shampoo would clean water on Uggs, I love you,” she wrote over the how-to video, which shows her using a toothbrush and a towel to work out the stain after applying the dry shampoo.
Another netizen posted a video on TikTok recommending the method. “I got a huge grease strain on my Uggs because I dropped like one chip on them but this hack with dry shampoo and talc worked a treat,” they shared.
The user explained that they left the powdery dry shampoo on for about 5 to 10 minutes before scrubbing at the stain with a fresh toothbrush. She then wiped the boots clean with a towel. The stain wasn’t completely gone though, so she added more, as well as some talc powder to leave the boots overnight. Talc powder is another product often used in cosmetic products for absorbing excess oil.
Another person on TikTok showed off an oil stain on her Tasman slipper, one of the brand’s most popular styles. After leaving dry shampoo on the shoe for “quite a while,” they brushed it off and were pleased with the outcome. “It’s not perfect by any means, but that works so well,” she concluded.
One TikTok user was far from impressed with the results, though. “I feel like this is kind of a risky thing to do but every video I watch says dry shampoo actually works,” she said. After applying dry shampoo to her Tasman slipper, she exclaimed, “I think it looks worse.”
While random tips and tricks always seem to pop up online, it’s always best to try any new technique on a small, not easily visible area of your shoe to avoid any mishaps. Here, take a look at FN’s tips for cleaning Uggs.
