Sheepskin care

Sheepskins are one of nature’s greatest insulators, adding texture and warmth with their sumptuous, lush deep pile. Timothy Oulton uses premium sheepskin hides from New Zealand that are naturally soft, luxurious and durable.

Sheepskin upholstery:

- On short-haired Baabaa sheepskin: Regular brushing with a pet brush or similar helps retain the soft, fluffy appearance and feel of the sheepskin. Some natural shedding may occur.

- On long-haired Yeti sheepskin: Brisk fluffing by hand can help restore loft. Regular brushing with a wooden bristle brush as needed to restore natural loft and remove knots or tangles. Some natural shedding may occur.

- Over time, sheepskin may need more than a brush to restore loft. We recommend using a blow dryer on high power, low heat. Hold the dryer at least 5 inches from the hair and move it around the frame as you lift and fluff the sheepskin by hand. Some natural shedding may occur.

- Vacuum your upholstery using the upholstery brush attachment to remove dust.

- Pick up spilled solids immediately using a knife or spoon - avoid pushing the substance deeper into the wool pile. Spot clean stains as soon as possible using a damp sponge and mild detergent, pat gently with a soft towel to absorb the water

- Blot liquid spills immediately using a paper towel, clean cloth or clean towel. If necessary, spot clean stains as soon as possible using a damp sponge and mild detergent, pat gently with a soft towel to absorb the water

- Never rub or brush wet or damp pile. This will damage the pile and spread the stain.

- Don't use any detergents containing bleach or enzymes

- Avoid placing your sheepskin furniture in direct sunlight to prevent UV damage or fading.

- Sheepskin is a natural material and simply airing your sheepskin furniture regularly by opening windows and doors and letting fresh air circulate in the room can help keep it clean.

Sheepskin cushions:
  • Brisk shaking and regular brushing of the wool with a pet brush or similar helps retain the soft, fluffy appearance of the sheepskin.
  • Spot clean stains as soon as possible using a damp sponge and pat gently with a soft towel to absorb the water.
  • The cushion cover is suitable for dry cleaning.
  • Before laundering, remove sheepskin cushion cover and zip it up. (Do not immerse the cushion infill in water).
