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.
A wool or a fleece can be considered as hypoallergenic according to many medical professions. Sheepskins are considered as insulators themselves and that is why, they have the ability of drawing the perspiration away from wearers to fibers. In the history, a faux sheepskin rug and also sheepskin boots, vests, and coats are very common to people. Here are them following steps to clean these items properly and maintain their 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.
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.
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.
Lay the item down to dry it up in a side down position. This may also be hung to drip dry it, but you need to make sure that hanging it must be away from sunlight heat because excess heat can make the wool become damaged. Drying it using the dryer may also be done by setting the cycle to either fluff or gentle only.
