I came across an article written by a filmmaker/writer Jonathon E. Stewart on how to keep your Ugg boots clean and this article will be very useful if you were to soil your boots one of these days.
Ugg boots is an Australian term for sheepskin footwear. Footwear made of sheepskin will last a lifetime if they are well looked after and it is really easy to do the cleaning yourself at home.

First, look for a sheepskin cleaner meant for cleaning your sheepskin boots. They come in various types and prices so buy one that suits your purpose best. Normally a mild cleaner will be more than sufficient to do the job but make sure you read the washing instructions on the bottle.
Then, wet a piece of soft cloth in water. Squeeze out excess water so that the cloth is damp enough to do the cleaning without soaking the entire boots. Gently wipe the outer part of your shoe with the damp cloth until you have removed all the dirt on it.

After that, get a sponge and dip it into the diluted cleaner. Squeeze out excess cleaner and gently scrub the outer part of the boots with the sponge in small circles. Continue cleaning until you have removed all the dirt. For dirt trapped in corners and hard to reach places, use a toothbrush dipped in the cleaner. When all the cleaning is done, remove excess cleaner with a damp cloth. You might have to rinse several times.
Your sheep-skin boots is now ready to be dried. Remember to keep your boots away from direct heat as this can cause your boots to pucker. To maintain the shape of your boots, stuff the inside with paper and let it dry in a warm and dry corner.
To have your boots smelling fresh again, sprinkle some baking soda into it, shake well and leave overnight. Charcoal will do the same but don't sprinkle charcoal onto your boot! Finally, give your boot a good gentle brush using a suede brush.
