Woman accidentally stains her UGG boots so she comes up with novel repair – but safe to say not everyone’s a fan

SHE’D bought her on-trend UGG boots just days before.

So Linnea was left fuming when she accidentally spilled laundry detergent on the suede – leaving an obvious mark in the process.

But instead of chucking the boots away, she decided to try and fix them.

“I spilled laundry detergent on my brand new UGG shoes and it ruined the leather…” she wrote over her TikTok video.

“So I bought textile paint and tried to fix it the only way I know how.”

Linnea showed that she’d used the bright yellow paint to draw a circle over the mark.

She then used the inspiration of a SmileyWorld face and a black permanent marker to draw some eyes and a mouth on the yellow circle.

“I love them even more now,” she concluded.

And while some people were a fan of the new look, others weren’t quite as convinced.

“It looks like the old early 2000’s Walmart stickers that the ancient door greeter would give you as a kid,” one wrote.

But someone else asked: “Lol but how is it that detergent ruined it?”

“It was pure detergent and I hadn’t prepped them, so it seeped into the leather and bleached it,” Linnea replied.
