Sheepskin - Maintenance Cleaning

This sheepskin felt draggy or greasy & attracting soil.

The color was slightly yellowed and the fur was clumped.

This is the process I followed:



1. Vacuum loose soil.


2. Spray on Degreaser-5.6 and comb through with comb type groomer.


3. Towel off loose soil.


4. Spray on Cleaner-5.5 and comb through with groomer.


5. Towel off loose soil.


6. Spray on hair Rinse-4.0 and comb through with groomer.


7. Towel off loose soil.


8. After dry groom with brass brush to fluff.



The pictures don't do it justice, the actual results were significant.

Your tools of the trade miss one important piece of equipment:

The Slicker Brush

You need to “bloom” the wool as the label instruction say.

#8: “To groom for a bloom when dry again”.

See if I can find a picture for you.
