Sheepskin Rug Care Instructions
Sheepskin Rug Care Instructions:
All of our sheepskin rugs are premium grade and are machine washable. Singles and doubles will usually fit in a top-load washing machine. Quad rugs and larger usually are best washed in a front-load machine. Of course, any size rug can also be hand-washed in a sink or bathtub.
north american care instructions
We recommend the following method to wash our sheepskin rugs.
 Machine or hand wash in cold or warm water (water not to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit). We recommend the use of Pure Castile, biodegradable camp soaps or Eucalan Wool wash: Do not use Woolite or laundry detergents such as Tide.
If using Eucalan wool wash, skip the rinse cycle and go directly to spin dry. Eucalan contains lanolin which helps to keep the wool soft and smooth. Line dry or dry flat and gently stretch to shape (both directions) while damp. For best results, the sheepskin should be brushed with a wire brush when wet, when damp and then when dry. This will keep the wool fur straight and soft.
Do not tumble dry your sheepskin.
Bowron Sheepskin may also be drycleaned using either white spirits, hydrocarbon or perchlorethylene.
Severe heat will damage sheepskins resulting in shrinking and hardening of the pelts.
Euclean Wool wash can be purchased through us. Please call [816]472-9393 to place your order or email steve@kangaroocrossing.com.
As stated above, please only use detergents which are non-alkaline, non-iconic and do not contain biological enzymes. Bleach / enzymes degrade the tanned leather causing damage to the sheepskin.
Your carefully selected Bowron Sheepskin may have been tightly packaged for the journey home and so the wool may appear flattened. Wool fibres are very resilient and will bounce back to their original springy appearance.
A vigorous shake will help restore the soft, fluffy appearance of the wool. Any fold marks from packaging will disappear once the skin has been removed from the package for several days.
Storage
Should you wish to store your Sheepskin at any time, place it in a cool airy place avoiding direct sunlight. Packaging in plastic bags for an extended period of time is not recommended as the Sheepskin fibres will not breathe and condensation may occur in warm conditions.
