Other common term for a sheepskin is lambskin. Lambskin is the hide of a sheep. This material is not like the common leather types which are tanned with some fleece intact like pelts. A lot of manufacturers have been using these materials for their products like hats, baby and invalid rugs, clothing, slippers, automotive seat covers, covering, footstools, pelts, and gloves.
Wool or fleece is being considered as well by most medical professions as being hypoallergenic. Sheepskins are already being considered as an insulator which can draw away the perspiration coming from the wearer into the fibers. In history, sheepskin coats, boots, vests, and faux sheepskin rug were used commonly by people. The following are the steps on the proper cleaning of this item while the quality is maintained.
Filling the tub with a tepid warm water and adding an appropriate powder or liquid solution for the type of material. And since you are having the fleece or wool material, make sure that you are using a delicate wool solution by adding only a small amount of it. In this way, you can maintain the quality of the wool because you are not washing it with a solution that can possibly damage it.
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.
A woolskin shampoo and conditioner is recommended for use in washing and not the wool detergents. These detergents contain phosphates, bleach, triethanolamine, phosphoric acid, chelating agents, alkali, peroxide, sequestering agents, or enzymes. All of these might be harmful to the leather, and thus, using these must be avoided.
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.
The next step is washing it gently using your hands. Sometimes, some stains and dirt may still be left, but never think of scrubbing the item for avoiding damage. After removing all the stains, rinse it very well with fresh warm water. Continue on washing until the water is clear with no bubbles left.
After all the processes, the sheepskin must be drained first before removing it from tub. And using a comb, comb the fur very gently in order to return its softness when dried. Combing can prevent it from having small that would look ugly. An important reminder is to avoid brushing harshly for the prevention of falling down. And also, comb it in only one direction.
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.
