Care Instructions: Your Sheepskin may have been tightly packaged for the journey home and so the wool may appear flattened. Wool fibres are very resilient and will bounce back to their original springy appearance.

A vigorous shake will also help restore the soft, fluffy appearance of the wool. Any fold marks from the packaging will disappear once the skin has been removed from the package for several days.

Hand/Machine Washing: Use a mild liquid household detergent in cold or warm water when hand washing (max 40C) or use the 'wool wash' cycle on your washing machine (max 40C) Do not use soap or washing powders containing enzymes or bleach, or which are alkaline. Do not use fabric softeners.

Rinse thoroughly in warm water. Hand squeeze as much water from the Sheepskin as possible or spin in the washing machine.

Drying: The Sheepskin may be tumble-dried on the 'cool' or 'warm' setting. Do not use the 'hot' setting as excessive heat may damage it. Alternatively, hang the Sheepskin outside to dry naturally, avoiding direct sunlight. Take care not to place the Sheepskin on a radiator, steam pipe or in front of a fan heater as this may damage the Sheepskin. Do not iron or bleach.

Brushing: After washing, the wool may revert back to its natural curly state. You can help restore the fluffy appearance by brushing the wool while it is wet and again when it is dry. A wire pet brush or comb is suitable.

The sheepskin can also be professionally dry-cleaned using either white spirits or perchloroethylene.
