Washing sheepskins - You should hand wash your sheepskins in tepid warm water. You can also have them dry cleaned.
Contents
Steps
- Fill your tub with tepid warm water, and add a small amount of delicate wool wash.
- Place your sheepskin in the tub fleece side down and fully immerse in warm water.
- Hand wash gently using a slow gentle motion and rinse well in fresh warm water until the water remains clear.
- Drain and remove the synthetic sheepskin and gently comb in one direction.
- Lay flat, fleece side down. Or hang it to drip dry, but keep out of the sun.
- When completely dry use the carding brush to fluff back to normal.
Tips
- Use room temperature water. Wool shrinks if you use water that is too hot. Fill the tub to a temperature where you don't notice any difference in when you put your hand into it (body temperature).
- Do not use a harsh laundry soap, Woolite or bleach - the gentler the better.
- Never use hot water or put a synthetic sheepskin in the dryer!
- Gently use a steel type wool carding brush
Warnings
- Do not wash in hot water.
- Do not use harsh cleaning chemicals
