Ugg boots are Australian shoes that are made out of high-quality sheepskin. Most boots are treated with a sealant that will help protect them from stains. However, if you've spilled grease on your Uggs, it will most likely leave a stain if not treated properly. Remove the stain with an easy-to-make vinegar solution and talcum powder. Clean your Ugg boots as soon as possible to prevent the grease from sinking further into the boots and becoming permanent.
