Wellington Boots Care Guide

Wellington boots work hard through rain, mud, festivals and dog walks, so a little care makes a real difference. Use this guide to clean, dry and store your wellies without damaging the rubber.

Hunter Original Tall Womens Black Wellies
Classic Hunter wellies are built for wet days, but they still need regular care.

How to clean wellington boots

  1. Knock off loose mud outside before it dries hard.
  2. Wipe the boots with lukewarm water and a soft cloth.
  3. Use a small amount of mild soap for stubborn marks, then rinse clean.
  4. Dry them naturally away from radiators or direct heat.
  5. Store them upright in a cool, dry place so the rubber keeps its shape.
Barbour Banbury Womens Black Wellies
Barbour wellies are another wet-weather staple worth looking after properly.

What to avoid

Avoid harsh detergents, tumble-drying, direct radiator heat and leaving muddy boots in a sealed bag. Those shortcuts can dry out or mark the rubber over time.
