CARE DO'S & DON'TS

Here's the basics:

 

  • Never machine wash.

  • Spot-clean light spills with a damp sponge and / or paper towels.

  • Shake and hang outside out of direct sunlight for a few hours.

  • Vacuum.

  • Brush.

  • Once a season, at a maximum, pop to specialist dry cleaner.

 

DO...

​

  • Shake out your sheepskin to remove dust and dirt particles

  • Gently vacuum sheepskin rugs

  • Brush your sheepskin with a wire brush

  • Bat your sheepskin outside regularly to keep it supple and smooth

  • Spot clean your sheepskin with a cool, damp sponge where possible

  • Use enzyme-free detergent when washing your sheepskin without alkaline ingredients or fabric conditioner. We recommend a specialist sheepskin detergent containing lanolin (super important to replace the natural lanolin in the skin hat you will wash out).

  • Dry your sheepskin leather side-up in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sunlight

 

DON'T...

​

  • Leave your sheepskin in the sun for long periods of time – this can cause yellowing!

  • Put your sheepskin on a radiator

  • Brush your sheepskin when wet

  • Wash your sheepskin too often – this strips the lanolin from the fibres, causing the skin to dull over time

  • Machine wash your sheepskin (even on a wool cycle, you risk damaging the biological enzymes in your sheepskin and shrinking it!)

  • Rub or scrub your sheepskin whilst washing, since this can affect the texture

  • Use hairdryers or tumble dryers to dry your sheepskin

  • Use bleach or hot water in the washing process
