Care
Proper care extends the life of your wellies:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, rinse the wellies thoroughly with clean, cool water. A soft brush or sponge can be used to remove stubborn dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the rubber.
- Drying: Allow the wellies to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture from the inside and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber for long periods.
- Inspection: Periodically check for any small tears or punctures that could compromise waterproofing. Minor damage may be repairable with appropriate rubber repair kits.
