How to Care for Your Gumleaf Boots

With the right care, your Gumleaf Boots will stay looking their best and last for years. Follow these five simple steps to keep your natural rubber wellingtons in great condition.

1. Clean After Use

After a muddy day outdoors, rinse your boots with water to remove mud, grit and urine. For stubborn marks, use a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents and chemicals, which can dry out or erode the natural rubber.

2. Let Them Dry Naturally

Allow your boots to dry naturally at room temperature after every use. Keep them away from radiators, fires and other direct sources of heat, as excessive heat can cause natural rubber to dry out and crack.

3. Store Them Properly
