Sheepskin may sometimes be called as lambskin, or the hide of the sheep. Unlike the common leather this is tanned having a fleece intact like pelt. This had been used already for many different products such as covering, hats, footstools, invalid and baby rugs, pelts, clothing, gloves, slippers, and automotive seat covers.
Fleece or wool is also being considered by medical profession as hypoallergenic. The sheepskin itself is already an insulator, drawing away the perspiration from wearers to the fibers. In the older times, sheepskin vests, boots, coats, and faux sheepskin rug are commonly used by people. So here are the steps of cleaning the item while maintaining the quality.
First is fill the tub using tepid warm water then add an appropriate type of a powder or a liquid solution suitable to the material type. And since this article talks about a material made from fleece or wool, delicate wool solutions are recommended for use, however, a small amount only must be added. Instruction labels are commonly found on any items, so make sure to carefully them and follow. Through this, maintaining the appearance and quality would be possible with no damages.
Hot water may also be used for washing. However an excessive use of it may possibly bring some disadvantages. Some of these would include damaging the leather and causing the item to shrink, can cause felting to the wool pile, can cause color loss, can make the rinsing process become difficult, and can set stains which can be hard to remove.
When washing the item, it is recommended to make use of the woolskin conditioner and shampoo and not wool detergents. The detergents usually contain bleach, phosphoric acid, alkali, peroxide, enzymes, phosphates, triethanolamine, chelating and sequestering agents. All these chemicals can possibly harm the leather, thus, avoid the use of these.
When placing the rug in tub fleece, the position must be side down. Be sure that this is fully immersed in warm water. Just like washing other types of clothing, leaving the rug and soaking it in water with a solution for several minutes is possible. This can help in the removal of dirt easier and allows the smell of solution to be absorbed. You may not need to scrub it forcibly to remove excess dirt, thus, avoiding damage.
Then after, wash it very gently with your hands. If you can still see some dirt or stain, avoid rubbing or brushing it to avoid damage. After all the stains are removed, wash and rinse the item using fresh warm water and continue washing until the water becomes clear and no bubbles are left.
After all these processes, drain first the sheepskin before you remove it from water. Combing the fur can be done to prevent ties which look ugly. Combing also can maintain the softness of material even after drying. One important reminder is the avoidance of brushing harshly to prevent it to fall down and comb it one direction only.
For drying you may either lay it flat, with the fleece in side down, or you may also hang it for drip dying and see to it that you are keeping it away from the direct heat of the sunlight. An excess heat may possibly damage the wool. You can also use the dryer with no heat and set it into a gentle or fluff cycle only.
