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.
Using hot water in washing would be fine. However, using this excessively may bring unnecessary disadvantages. Some disadvantages include resulting to a difficult rinsing process, the leather becomes damaged and shrunk, the colors may possibly fade, the wool piles may felt, and there maybe some dirt and stains and it maybe hard to remove them.
When an item is being washed, use a woolskin shampoo and conditioner instead of wool detergents. Typically, these wool detergents have some toxic chemicals such as phosphoric acid, peroxide, phosphates, chelating agents, sequestering agents, bleach, alkali, enzymes, and triethanolamine. These chemicals may cause harm and damage to leather.
Place the rug into the tub fleece in a side down position. Make sure to immerse it fully in the warm water. Similar to washing any other clothing, you may leave the rug and soak it in the water with solution in order for the dirt to be removed by the delicate wash and in order for the smell to stick on it. Thus, there is no need for you to really scrub it which can be one of the causes for it to be worn out and damaged.
Next is hand washing the item gently. There are times when some dirt or stains are left, so never scrub the item or brush it because this can possibly cause damage. After the stains have been removed, rinse the item well using a fresh water. Wash it continuously until you can see clear water having no bubbles.
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.
When drying it up, laying it down in side down position with fleece can be done, or maybe hanging it for a drip drying. Make sure to hang it away from sunlight. Excess heat damage your wool. Using the dryer maybe done as well as long as the setting is in fluff or gentle cycle only.
