How to Care for Your Sheepskin Rug: Expert Tips
A genuine sheepskin rug can stay soft and beautiful for years when it is cared for as a natural wool product. Regular maintenance is simple, but harsh cleaning and high heat should be avoided.
Regular care
Shake the rug outdoors to remove dust and loose debris. Brush the wool gently with a sheepskin brush or clean slicker brush to restore loft and reduce matting.
How to handle spills
Blot spills immediately with a clean dry cloth. Do not rub. For small stains, use cool water and a wool-safe cleaner, then blot again with clean water to remove residue.
Drying tips
Let damp areas air dry naturally away from direct sunlight, heaters, and tumble dryers. High heat can make the leather backing stiff or damaged.
Storage
Store sheepskin in a cool, dry place with airflow. Avoid sealed plastic bags for long storage because natural materials need to breathe.
