Soft wool on a delicate backing
Sheepskin rugs have long, soft wool on a leather backing. Hot water and harsh soap can mat the wool and dry out the leather until it cracks, and a home washing machine can ruin a sheepskin in one cycle.
We clean sheepskins with wool-safe products and lukewarm water, condition the hide, dry it slowly and comb the wool out by hand, so it comes back soft and fluffy.
How we clean sheepskin rugs
- Pickup: We pick up the sheepskin from your home. Pickup and delivery are free across Miami-Dade and Broward.
- Inspection: We check the wool, the backing and any stains or matting.
- Gentle wash: The wool is cleaned with a wool-safe solution in lukewarm water, without twisting or wringing.
- Dry and comb: Slow drying, a light conditioning of the hide, and the wool is combed out by hand.
Matted and yellowed wool
Matting can often be loosened with careful combing after the wash. Yellowing from age or sun is harder to reverse, so we test first and tell you what to expect.
