handmade sheepskin animal stool Austria

Genuine sheepskin is prized for its exceptional softness and fluffiness. However, with improper care or cleaning, the otherwise cuddly fur can become stiff. As the owner of a handmade unique piece from our Alpine workshop, you appreciate its natural quality. To preserve the longevity of these exclusive items, we have compiled important tips for gentle care.

Why does the fur become stiff after washing?

Sheepskins naturally contain lanolin. This fatty substance acts as a protective film, keeps the fibers supple, and protects against dirt. Using water that is too hot or unsuitable detergents strips away this valuable wool wax. The result: the fur loses its structure and becomes brittle.

Tips for the proper care of your unique piece

1. Choice of detergent: Use only conditioning wool detergents containing lanolin to maintain the natural protective film.
2. Temperature and heat: Avoid heat when washing and drying. A gentle drying process, away from direct sunlight or heaters, is crucial for maintaining fluffiness.
3. Prefer hand washing: For our exclusive sheepskin stools, we recommend cleaning by hand as gently as possible or, in case of heavy soiling, commissioning a professional.

Conclusion

With the right care, your handmade animal stool made of genuine fur will remain a highlight in your home for a long time. Whether as a special home accessory in an Alpine interior style or as a stylish element in your chalet – when shipping within Austria, we place the utmost importance on ensuring you enjoy your unique piece for years to come.
