The Steps On Cleaning A Faux Sheepskin Rug

By Robert Turner


Sheepskin may sometimes be called as lambskin, or the hide of the sheep. Unlike the common leather this is tanned having a fleece intact like pelt. This had been used already for many different products such as covering, hats, footstools, invalid and baby rugs, pelts, clothing, gloves, slippers, and automotive seat covers.

Wool or fleece is being considered as well by most medical professions as being hypoallergenic. Sheepskins are already being considered as an insulator which can draw away the perspiration coming from the wearer into the fibers. In history, sheepskin coats, boots, vests, and faux sheepskin rug were used commonly by people. The following are the steps on the proper cleaning of this item while the quality is maintained.

Filling the tub with a tepid warm water and adding an appropriate powder or liquid solution for the type of material. And since you are having the fleece or wool material, make sure that you are using a delicate wool solution by adding only a small amount of it. In this way, you can maintain the quality of the wool because you are not washing it with a solution that can possibly damage it.

Using a hot water for washing maybe fine but this must not be used excessively. This can bring some unnecessary disadvantages. These cons would include causing the wool pile to felt, making the process of rinsing become difficult, setting some stains that are hard to remove, damaging the leather and shrinking it, and causing color loss.

A woolskin shampoo and conditioner is recommended for use in washing and not the wool detergents. These detergents contain phosphates, bleach, triethanolamine, phosphoric acid, chelating agents, alkali, peroxide, sequestering agents, or enzymes. All of these might be harmful to the leather, and thus, using these must be avoided.

Position the rug in tube fleece in side down. Be sure to immerse the material fully into a warm water. Similar to the washing processes of other clothing, the rug may be left soaked in water for several minutes with the solution in the mixture. Through this, removing the dirt can be done much easier and allowing the solution scent to be absorbed. Scrubbing it forcibly for removing excess dirt must be avoided.

Then after, wash it very gently with your hands. If you can still see some dirt or stain, avoid rubbing or brushing it to avoid damage. After all the stains are removed, wash and rinse the item using fresh warm water and continue washing until the water becomes clear and no bubbles are left.

After all the processes, the sheepskin must be drained first before removing it from tub. And using a comb, comb the fur very gently in order to return its softness when dried. Combing can prevent it from having small that would look ugly. An important reminder is to avoid brushing harshly for the prevention of falling down. And also, comb it in only one direction.

For drying you may either lay it flat, with the fleece in side down, or you may also hang it for drip dying and see to it that you are keeping it away from the direct heat of the sunlight. An excess heat may possibly damage the wool. You can also use the dryer with no heat and set it into a gentle or fluff cycle only.
