Sheepskin is a relatively user-friendly material – a good shaking can go a long way to take care of loose dirt and dust. Although frequent washing is not recommended, since it will strip the wool and backing of protective oils, it will be necessary once in a while. However! Washing should be done by a professional; this will help your rug avoid shrinkage and color bleeding – particularly in the case of dyed wool or colored trims. Our cleaning process (using organic products that do not affect the fibers of the rug) includes: stain and spot removal – whether pet stains or other matter. This is followed by a gentle hand washing and heat and light free drying, to keep the rug as close to its original size as much as possible. With expert technicians to inspect any damage, whenever possible a funky sheepskin will be repaired to look again like that rug that you brought home from the store. As the Sheepskin rug experts in NY we invite you to entrust us with yours, to bring back its softness and clarity of color.
