Care of your Sheep Wool Product

Wool has the natural ability to "Bounce Back".  A vigorous shake will restore the original appearance of the wool if it has been tightly packaged to send to you.

If the wool becomes matted it may be brushed up with a steel comb or pet wire brush.

The rugs and covers can be washed in a washing machine, but preferably by hand using warm water and soap extract or a mild detergent.  Do not use enzymes.

Do not agitate for any longer than four minutes, as the wool may felt.  DO NOT SPIN DRY.  Dry out slowly out of the sun.  If the underside of the skin becomes hard this can be "Staked" to soften it when the leather is almost, but not quite dry.  The staking can be done by using a square ended stick, which is rubbed firmly along the skin, working to the outside edges from the centre.  This action loosens up the leather fibres which tend to knit together while drying.

Alternatively your sheepskin can be cleaned by a professional drycleaner who specializes in laundering leather products.

Long-term Storage

Pack into a cardboard box or paper bag, not plastic and store away from sunlight.
