The invention discloses a method for preparing a special fluoroether surfactant. The method comprises the steps of adding deionized water and a fluoroether oligomer, of which the average molecular weight is 300-1,500, into a hydrolysis reaction kettle according to the weight ratio of about (1: 15) to (3: 1), carrying out stirring heating, maintaining the internal temperature of the kettle to be about 30-200 DEG C, hydrolyzing unstable terminal groups of the fluoroether oligomer into carboxylic acid terminal groups, carrying out reaction for half an hour to 8 hours, then, standing a reaction solution to carry out layering, removing an upper-layer aqueous solution through sucking, adding an approximately equal volume of clean deionized water into the hydrolysis kettle so as to clean reactants, carrying out stirring for about half an hour at normal temperature, then, removing an upper-layer aqueous solution through sucking, repeating the cleaning method for 1-3 times, and discharging the reactant, thereby preparing the fluoroether surfactant containing the carboxylic acid terminal groups.
