I’m sending this one out to all the ladies in the house. Actually, screw that. Boys, this is for you too. Just because you have a penis doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the most comfortable foot ware on the face of the earth. As comfortable as they are, they do have one problem. They get dirty. Not that other types of boots don’t. But, if you don’t know the proper methods for how to clean Uggs, you can cause damage to them. And because they’re so expensive, you will want to be very careful when it becomes time for cleaning Uggs. Cleaning sheepskin boots is a delicate process. So, if you want to know how to clean Ugg boots, Ugg shoes, or for that matter, any other brand of sheepskin boots, I strongly recommend that you read this article and learn how to clean Uggs properly.
I have the hardest glasses in the world to keep clean. They have plastic lenses, little ridges that harbor facial oils and grime, and they attract dust like there’s no tomorrow. And since I’m not one to go to the optometrist very often, I’ve been wearing this same pair of glasses for about five years now. So, needless to say, I’ve gotten really good at cleaning glasses. Luckily for you, my method of cleaning eyeglasses involves no rocket science, just a (very) little time. I used to clean glasses by breathing on the lenses and wiping them down with whatever shirt I happened to be wearing at the time. As it turns out, that’s not the best method. It may remove some of dirt and grease, but it also pushes little bits of grit around the lenses that scratch the hell out of ‘em. If you want to know how to clean eyeglasses and how to clean sunglasses safely and properly, check out this article.

Silk is unique in the fabric world. It’s incredibly strong, yet supple and breezy. It keeps people warm in cool weather, and cool in warm weather. It’s lightweight and it doesn’t take up much room, which makes it perfect for traveling. Multicolored silk shirts also attract the ladies like nothing else (or so I thought in seventh grade). The only downside is that silk cleaning is sometimes unconventional. Some silks may be washed in the machine, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Quality silk vendors will preshrink and colorfast their fabrics, but many don’t just to spite you. Either way, if you read my latest article on how to clean silk, you should be able to get your garment clean without tears or despair.

People are surprisingly intimidated when it comes to washing wool and cleaning wool. I think the problem is that we read too many labels and they all say “Dry Clean Only”. And yeah. Sometimes that’s probably true. And that’s why I don’t buy those things. When it comes to cleaning wool though, despite what the tag says, you don’t always have to dry clean wool.

Either way, it’s bull doody. It’s actually pretty easy to clean wool. It’s kinda time consuming, but easy. If you have some wool garments that need some cleaning and are looking for a simple method for how to clean wool, have a look and a gander at this article.

Suede is attractive and soft - soft enough to earn similes. For example, suede is as soft as Micheal Jordan’s jump shot…if he were made of melting butter. Suede is as soft as our former president’s grasp on the history of the Middle East. It is good that suede is attractive and soft, because it is a supreme hassle to clean. The part of the hide used and suede’s nappy finish make it far less resistant to stains and general filthiness than full-grade leather. You can’t throw just any old stain remover on suede; if you do, you’re bound to ruin it. There are tools and specific cleaners for suede, depending on your item’s particular finish. However, there are never any guarantees with suede, and so prevention is paramount. Read my latest article to learn how to clean suede safely by using the correct cleaners and tools.
