Our boots are made to be easy to clean as we expect you to wear them regularly. Most common cleaning and washing methods apply unless otherwise noted on the label. Below are some methods you can use to clean and protect your boots.
Preparation for Cleaning
To properly clean your Timberland boots, you must first prepare them. Don't worry, it's a simple process that doesn't take long. You want to remove any dirt or grime that is stuck to your boot. Wipe them with a damp towel to remove most of the dirt. Then use a soft brush on the entire surface of the boot.
If there are deeper scratches, take extra care to remove all the dirt. Most soft bristles will suffice, but you can order a special brush set from the Timberland website. If your boot is made of suede or nubuck, consider using special brushes, as these materials may require extra care.
Don't forget to take off your laces and wash them separately. It makes cleaning the boot easier and you can't wash them while they are still attached to the boot. Now to the cleaning.
How to clean with soap and water
This is the simplest method and only uses items you already have on hand. Grab a towel, a soft brush, some soap, and water. Clean the base and soles first. Just dab some soap on the brush and scrub. Make a mixture of soap and water and dip a towel or soft cloth in it.
Clean the rest of the shoe with the mixture. If there are stubborn stains, use the brush to remove them. When you're done, wipe them clean with a dry towel and let them dry overnight.
How To Clean with Soap and Water
This is another method you can use to clean your Timberland boots at home, and it works especially well for stubborn stains. Vinegar is a natural and harmless cleaner that you can use on almost any type of boot. It is also very cheap and widely available.
Make a mixture of water and vinegar, in proportions of about ten parts water to one part vinegar. Dip a cloth in the mixture and let it sit for a few minutes. Squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth and rub it over the stain. You can also use a soft brush on stains if you are not sure the cloth will remove them completely.
If you can't remove a stain on your first try, make a stronger mix. Keep in mind that vinegar has a strong odor, so it's best to dry your boot in a well-ventilated area.
How To Clean with Vinegar
Baking soda is another inexpensive ingredient that you can get anywhere. Use it to remove stains from your Timberland boots. Simply sprinkle some baking soda on the affected area and leave it on for an hour or two.
If it's a deeper stain, use a cloth to wipe off the baking soda. After letting it sit, wipe it with a sponge or cloth. The baking soda will absorb the oils that caused the stain and leave your leather boots clean.
How To Clean Stain Using Baking Soda
We don't need to tell you how easy it is to get baby wipes and bread. Using baby wipes is a safe and effective way to clean Timberland boots. They are soft and do not damage the leather. Use them to wipe the entire surface of the shoe until it is clean.
After the trunk is clean, use some crustless stale bread to remove any stains. The texture of the bread is similar to fine sandpaper. Rubbing it will remove any surface stains. Dust off the remaining crumbs and you're done.

In addition to making quality boots, Timberland also sells special cleaning products for different types of leather. These products not only clean your boots but also nourish and protect the leather. The disadvantage is that these items are more expensive than regular household items
Cleaning Suede and Nubuck Boots
Suede and nubuck are popular materials for Timberland boots, and for good reason. They are durable and elegant materials, but they require special care when cleaning. Here's what to keep in mind when cleaning suede and nubuck boots.
Cleaning Suede and Nubuck Boots
Suede is a very delicate material and special care should be taken when cleaning boots. Suede and water don't mix well, and water can permanently stain boots. The best option is to use a dry cleaning method or be very careful when using a water solution. Use an eraser for scratches and scrapes.
If the cut is deeper, use a soft bristle brush to remove all the dirt. Then rub a suede eraser, Timberland cleaning stick, or even a regular pencil eraser over the mark until it disappears. You should have no problem removing scuff marks from your Timberland boots using this method.
When you're done removing the markings, brush the boot with a soft bristle brush. This will remove any remaining dirt and eraser residue. Be sure to brush in one direction as this will give your boot an even look.
Cleaning Suede Boots
Nubuck is more resistant than suede, so you can use most of the methods mentioned above, but the best option is to use a dry cleaning method. You can buy many dry cleaners designed specifically for nubuck leather.
Since nubuck stains and scratches easily, prevention is the ideal option. Buy sprays that will protect your shoe, ease the cleaning process and make your boots last longer.
