Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your natural rubber boots:
- Cleaning: Wipe down boots regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent (if necessary) to remove dirt and mud. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause the rubber to crack or degrade.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To prevent the rubber from blooming (a white powdery film), you can occasionally apply a silicone-based rubber buffer spray.
- White Film (Blooming): A white powdery 'bloom' can appear on Hunter rubber boots. This is a characteristic of natural rubber and is not a defect. It can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or treated with Hunter Boot Buffer and shine spray.
