The short version
- A sheepskin rug is a natural product, not a standard rug.
- The wool is still attached to the skin, which makes it soft, warm and attractive in the home, but also more difficult to clean safely.
- Once a sheepskin is dirty, matted, flattened or stiff, cleaning may not return it to the soft, fluffy texture you remember.
- Professional cleaning may be possible in some cases, but it can also change the feel, shape, colour or backing.
- That is why we usually advise careful routine care, early advice and honest judgement before spending money on cleaning.
