Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Hunter Wellington Boots:
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the boots clean with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry naturally. For stubborn mud, use a soft brush or sponge with water.
- Drying: Always allow the boots to dry fully at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Direct heat can cause the rubber to dry out and crack.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Storing them upright helps maintain their shape.
- Avoiding Bloom: Over time, natural rubber products can develop a white, powdery 'bloom'. This is a normal process and is not a defect. It can be easily wiped off with a damp cloth or by using a Hunter Boot Buffer or Silicone Sponge, which is specifically designed to restore the gloss finish.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, solvents, or silicone-based sprays not specifically designed for rubber footwear, as these can damage the material.
