ABOUT SHEEPSKIN
Sheepskin is a truly amazing natural material. For thousands of years sheepskin has protected us from the elements and thanks to its excellent insulating properties, flexibility and durability it continues to keep us warm and cosy today.
Whether you’re adorning your feet or your floors with sheepskin, just a little TLC will keep your products looking luxurious.

General care
- Sheepskin has a natural tendency to repel dirt. Keep clean and fluffy by shaking out rugs and throws regularly. Avoid vacuuming, especially with rotary headed vacuum cleaners. Instead, use an old wide-toothed comb to get rid of any matting and restore its natural fluffiness.
- Do not store in sheepskin products in damp or very hot, dry conditions and keep out of direct sunlight to avoid the possibility of fading.
Spills / cleaning
- Spills should be dealt with as quickly as possible. Never scrub as this can spread the stain. Soak up as much as you can with dry cloths before spot cleaning with a cool, mild natural soap solution or white vinegar solution (no more than 1 part vinegar to 3 parts cold water). Always follow the direction of the sheepskins’ natural pile. Do not use a vinegar solution on special leather finishes such as printed designs or metallics.
- After cleaning, allow to dry out naturally away from direct sunlight or excessive heat. Stuff a little loosely scrunched up newspaper into slippers for support whilst drying.
