Sheepskin Care Guide

The sheepskin is by nature curly but the character of the wool can vary both as to curliness and colour shade. In reality there are no two identical skins. The differences in wool character, wool density and type of wool fibres, contribute to a varying uptake of dye. Nevertheless, it is these special characteristics which make a very unique product and give each skin a special touch.

With the correct care you sheepskin furniture will retain its look for many years. Since dust and dirt collect at the bottom of the fleece, furniture should be aired and vacuumed regularly.

Use a lint roller to remove loose dirt.

Stains should be soaked in cold water as soon as possible.

For a general clean use a clean sponge, lukewarm water and wool shampoo.

For severe soiling, use a mild, non-biological liquid detergent (wool shampoo) which does not contain phosphates, peroxides, alkalis or bleaching agents.

Avoid exposure to strong sunlight or strong heat sources as this may cause fading.

Please be aware that there maybe some colour transfer from dark coloured sheep skins. Please avoid placing skins on light surfaces such as light coloured plastics, fabric wood or leather and also avoid sitting on dark coloured sheepskins in light coloured clothing.
