To keep your sheepskin looking its best, follow these professional care tips:

  • Regular Brushing: Brushing your sheepskin with a pet brush, stiff bristled brush or comb will revitalize the wool pile allowing for that new clean feeling. 

  

Thorough Cleaning

  •  Washing - Machine wash on “wool” or “gentle” cycle in lukewarm water (Max 40°C/104°F). Use only Woolskin Sheepskin Shampoo or another detergent which specifies that it is suitable for sheepskin. Do not use a wool wash or any other detergent. Spin excess water out. Do not bleach or leave soaking.
  • Drying - Lay flat over a drying/airing rack or over two chairs in an outside position away from direct sunlight. Stretch to shape while damp and brush to restore the wool pile. DO NOT IRON. Don't forget to brush after it's dried to restore the fluffy appearance.

 

 Incorporating sheepskin into your home decor is an excellent way to add warmth, comfort, and style to your living spaces. Whether you choose rugs, throws or cushions, sheepskin’s natural beauty and versatility make it a timeless choice for any interior design.
