How do I care for a sheepskin or lambskin?

A sheepskin is self-cleaning, dirt-repellent and easy to maintain.

Do not wash a sheepskin too often!

General care of a sheepskin.
Regular brushing with a fur brush ensures that the hairs remain soft and beautifully fluffy. We recommend that you air the sheepskin regularly. Place it outside in the snow or in the mist for a few hours. Place the fur side down, it may get wet, but the leather bottom should not get wet. This way you freshen up the sheepskin.

Washing a sheepskin.
You can wash the woolskin by hand, but that is a heavy job, or with the washing machine at a maximum of 30°C with special wool detergent for sheepskins, PH neutral, this is available from us. Spin the fur at less than 600 rpm.

Drying a lambskin
Never use a tumble dryer to dry a lambskin. Do not dry in direct sunlight or near an artificial heat source, a heater or radiator.

It is best to dry the lambskin on a towel flat on the floor, for example. While the fur is still wet, you can pull it into shape and brush it several times with a fur brush.
