Welly Care Guide

Splashing in puddles, waddling through mud, crunching through snow – whatever the weather, our kids’ wellies will have them ready to go on soggy adventures. Our Wellington boots are some of our best sellers thanks to their materials, designs and durability, so it’s safe to say we know a thing or two when it comes to kids’ Wellington boots. If you want to shake off last week’s mud and keep their wellies in tip-top condition, we’ve got a few hacks up our sleeves (and in our boots). Because after a day of mucking around outside, one thing is certain… their wellies will come back wet or filthy, asking for a little TLC.

How to clean wellies

The idea of cleaning welly boots might seem silly when their main purpose is to get dirty over and over… and over. But cleaning wellies will actually help the rubber boots last a longer life. JoJo wellies are made using natural rubber, which means extra loving care should be taken to prevent cracking and peeling.

Let’s jump right in

1. Firstly, use a bristled brush to scrape off any dry mud including the soles. Nope, do not put any wellies in the washing machine!

2. Then, scrub them with a clean cloth using warm (not hot) soapy water - part water, part washing up liquid will do the job.

3. It’s a no to tumble drying too! Keep them away from radiators and direct sunlight and instead, leave them to air dry in a well-ventilated space. To help them keep their welly boot shape as they dry, stuff the insides with crumpled newspaper to speed up the drying process.

4. You can clean the inside of wellies the same way as the outside. Use warm soapy water and rinse.

How to store wellies

With buffer spray and protection solutions aside, the biggest way to protect wellies is in the way you store them. Just like their favourite teddy bear, you want to keep their welly boots tucked up in a cosy dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures like a porch or shed which traps in heat and cold. A ventilated spot away from direct sunlight will prevent them from cracking and being worn down in between wears. If the wellies won’t be worn for a while, keep the crumpled newspaper in the boots to hold their shape.

Wellies & accessories

Our girls’ wellies and boys’ wellies add a splash of colour to any wet and windy day. In every pair of wellies, you’ll find a unique print in vibrant colours, with clever features to support tiny feet. Explore snow boots and lined wellies to keep tiny toes cosy during teeth-chattering snowy days. Browse ankle wellies and wellies with drawstrings and handles for easy rainy, splish-splash days. For an extra layer of protection, cocoon their feet in snug soft socks, perfectly suitable for the washing machine and all seasons. For little ones pair baby wellies with some baby welly socks made from a cotton blend to keep toes toasty. Or swap the socks for fleece-lined welly liners with fun designs to show off.
