Sheepskin is a luxurious and natural material that adds warmth and texture to your home, but it requires proper care to maintain its softness and durability. Follow these sheepskin maintenance tips to keep your rug, throw, or cushion looking fresh and feeling fluffy.

How to Wash Sheepskin

For light cleaning, regularly shake out your sheepskin to remove dust and dirt. If a deeper clean is needed, spot-clean stains with a damp cloth and mild wool detergent. Always avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the natural fibres.

Hand Washing vs. Machine Washing

For best results, hand wash in lukewarm water with a wool-safe detergent. If your sheepskin is machine washable, use a gentle cycle with cold water, and avoid spinning. Never use hot water, as it can shrink or harden the fleece.

Keeping Sheepskin Soft and Fluffy

After washing, gently squeeze out excess water—never wring. Lay flat to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, use a sheepskin brush to fluff up the fibres.

With proper care, your sheepskin will stay soft, clean, and luxurious for years to come.
