Genuine sheepskin pelts exhibit natural variations in colour and texture. Some hairs will be long and straight, others shorter and curlier. Together, these characteristics create a unique piece with depth and texture. The unique structure of sheepskin’s wool fibres gives it a natural softness and durability and sheepskin furniture will last a lifetime if cared for properly.
- 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.
