I am not sure how to wash it and still keep it soft. It's a pad for a wheel chair. Any ideas? Not dry cleaning.How can I wash fluffy sheep skin and keep the leather part soft?
For best results, follow these 4 easy steps:
1. Use cold or lukewarm water.
2. Use Woolskin: Sheepskin and Wool shampoo with Tea tree Oil.
3. Wash
4. Dry
Detailed instructions:
1. USE COLD OR LUKEWARM WATER- NEVER HOT
(There is one exception: you can safely use hot tap water for HiTemp UR Medical Sheepskins. These superior sheepskins can withstand more than 100 hot water wash and dry cycles while retaining their softness and pressure relieving properties. HiTemp UR Medical Sheepskins are thermally disinfected when washed at 80oC or 175oF)
The use of excessively hot water:
Will damage leather and may cause it to shrink
May cause felting of the wool pile
May cause loss of colour
May make thorough rinsing much more difficult.
May set some stains and make them difficult to remove
2. USE A SHEEPSKIN DETERGENT:
Wool detergents are not recommended for the washing of sheepskins as they may contain chelating agents, phosphates, alkali, bleach, peroxide, triethanolamine, sequestering agents, phosphoric acid or enzymes. All are harmful to leather and should not be used.
4. DRYING SHEEPSKIN AND WOOL
Wool should be dried in the same way that you dry your own hair. Excess heat will damage wool. Place the wool item in the dryer ( no heat ) until nearly dry. Use the ';fluff or gentle cycle'; only. Remove from the dryer and place the sheepskin( leather side facing upwards ) or wool article on a flat surface or drying rack. Dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight or heat.
DO NOT USE DIRECT HEAT OR DIRECT SUNLIGHTHow can I wash fluffy sheep skin and keep the leather part soft?
If it's real sheepskin, I would talk to your drycleaner and they can send it to a specialist.
let a professional dry cleaner do it
Ain't to sure. You could wash it and after the leather is not so soft put shaving cream. Shaving gel will work but not as good as shaving cream. And the moist shaving cream will keep it soft
use a very soft type of wash detergent like ivory
