Decorative sheepskins have recently become one of the most popular home accessories, as shown by statistics from stores in Europe and beyond! Due to their minimalist, yet elegant appearance, they perfectly emphasize the minimalist and Scandinavian-style interior design, where simplicity, modesty and a passion for furnishing elements made of natural materials prevail. In order for us to enjoy the flawless-looking sheepskin for a long time, we need to take care of it, and here the fundamental question arises – can we?
Sheepskin products should be cleaned and aired on a regular basis to keep them fresh for a long time.
To remove dust, sand and other small crumbs, the sheepskin can be gently shaken, the next step will be to refresh the bristles. For this purpose, it is advisable to use specialized cleaning agents for dry or wet washing. When deciding on wet cleaning, remember not to wet the leather itself. Unfortunately, natural leather reacts very badly to excess moisture. The washed product should be dried in room conditions. A balcony or a beater in the field will be perfect for this, thanks to which the skin will be perfectly exposed for drying.
Sheepskins require regular brushing to keep them naturally soft and fluffy. At least once a week, the product should be ventilated outside – this is the easiest way to quickly refresh the skin and get rid of the unpleasant odor.
Summing up our today’s post, we would like to point out that proper care for sheepskin has many components. Starting from systematic brushing, to proper airing of the skin. Contrary to appearances, natural leather is easy to maintain, its care is neither demanding nor time-consuming. These simple few steps will allow you to keep the natural appearance of your skin in perfect condition for a long period of time!
