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 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.
Position the rug in tube fleece in side down. Be sure to immerse the material fully into a warm water. Similar to the washing processes of other clothing, the rug may be left soaked in water for several minutes with the solution in the mixture. Through this, removing the dirt can be done much easier and allowing the solution scent to be absorbed. Scrubbing it forcibly for removing excess dirt must be avoided.
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.
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.
