Cleaning sheepskin gently – The guide for your unique pieces

Our handcrafted sheepskins are not just practical companions, but exclusive home accessories that captivate with their natural warmth and alpine charm. To preserve the beauty of your unique piece for a long time, gentle care is essential. In particular, washing with a mild shampoo can be an effective step to keep the fur fresh.

In the past, it was often a challenge to keep high-quality furs clean without compromising their structure. But with the right techniques, the fur can be cleaned gently so that it retains its soft texture. The type of care significantly influences the longevity of your handcrafted real fur animal stools.

Preparation: Preparing your sheepskin professionally

Before you begin the care process, thorough preparation is essential. Choosing the right, pH-neutral shampoo for delicate textiles is crucial. Avoid aggressive cleaning agents that could dry out the leather.

Check the fur for loose areas beforehand. Coarse dirt can usually be removed with a vacuum cleaner or a soft brush. For cleaning, you only need a bowl of lukewarm water, a soft cloth, and a little bit of care.

Step-by-step guide: Washing sheepskin with shampoo

Cleaning requires a delicate touch to protect the valuable structure.

1. Pre-treatment: Gently remove loose dust with a soft brush.
2. Mixture: Add a small amount of mild shampoo to lukewarm water. The right dosage is key to protecting the leather.
3. Gentle cleaning: Dampen a cloth with the solution and wipe the fur with gentle movements. Avoid getting the leather too wet.
4. Rinsing: Carefully remove shampoo residues with a clean, damp cloth. Make sure the fur does not become saturated.
5. Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing, and let the fur dry in a shady, airy place.

This method preserves the natural feel and softness of your handcrafted unique piece.

Drying and aftercare

After washing, proper drying is crucial. Never hang the fur in direct sunlight or over a heater, as this would cause the leather to harden. A shady place with good ventilation is ideal. While drying, you can gently brush the hairs to maintain fluffiness. If necessary, the dry leather can be made supple again with a special leather care product.
