Clean Hunter Boots

Have you spent close to $200 on a pair of Hunter rain boots? Are they not keeping a vibrant color or appearing grey? Here are some tips on how to make your Hunter rain boots sparkle in puddles again!

Steps

  1. Wet a washcloth with warm water. The hotter, the better, as warmer water is more effective at wiping up stains. Of course, you don't want it boiling, but get it nice and hot.
  2. Gently rub your Hunter boots with the wet washcloth. Work in a circular pattern to most effectively wipe away dirt and grime.
  3. Let your boots completely dry. Set them outside or in a well-ventilated area. The sunshine will naturally disinfect the boots if you can leave them out on a bright day.[1]
  4. Put a dime size amount of olive oil (or any other cooking oil) on a dry washcloth or spritz directly on the boots. This will provide a nice, protective sheen and put some sparkle back in your boots.
  5. Wipe down your boots with the oil infused washcloth, covering the entire surface. Again, work in small, circular motions to make sure the entire boot is well oiled.
    • You don't want the boots to appear wet -- you just want a light, oily shine.
  6. Allow boots to dry, and if necessary wipe boots with a dry washcloth. Give them some time to sit, wiping up any excess oils (where it might pool or puddle) with a dry cloth.
    • If you do not see a change in appearance of your Hunter boots after these steps they may be damaged by weather and wear too much.



Tips

  • It is important to clean your Hunter rain boots frequently, especially after exposing them to bad weather conditions like hail, sleet, or snow.
