To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hunter Original Short Wellington Boots, follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, clean your boots with cold or lukewarm water and a soft cloth to remove dirt and mud. Do not use solvents or harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources (like radiators or fireplaces) and direct sunlight, as this can dry out the rubber and cause cracking.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place, upright, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid folding or creasing the rubber for prolonged periods.
Preventing Blooming: Hunter natural rubber products can develop a white powdery film, known as 'blooming'. This is a natural process and not a defect. To restore the boots' original shine, use a Hunter Boot Shine sponge or Hunter Rubber Buffer spray, following the product's instructions. Alternatively, a silicone-based furniture polish applied sparingly with a soft cloth can also help.
Avoid Chemicals: Do not expose your boots to oils, acids, or harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the natural rubber.
