Sheepskin Care Instructions
Though wool is a springy fiber, after long use it may tend to mat down a bit. To restore the pile to its original state, brush it up with a coarse brush. The coarser the brush the better. Wire brushes work best and do not harm the fleece.
Wool fleece is a natural fiber and resists soiling, this simplifying cleaning. In most cases spot cleaning in place with warm water and mild soap is all that is needed.
For Seat Covers - Removing the seat cover occasionally and shaking it out also removes loose dirt and restores the fleece to its original condition. Remember that your seat cover is a fine woolen product and must be treated as such. Harsh washing and / or drying can cause permanent damage, therefore dry cleaning is recommended. If the seat cover is soiled, it may be washed without damage providing that proper instructions are followed:
Hand wash in cool to lukewarm water, using a mild soap designed for sheepskin.
Rinse thoroughly with cool water and gently remove the excess water.
Dry naturally without using direct heat. Stretch the skin during drying to prevent shrinkage.
When dry, brush up fleece with a coarse pet brush to restore.
Brush and vacuum at least once a month.
Please note if you are not comfortable cleaning the seat covers yourself, find a dry cleaner that specializes in cleaning leather.
