How to Clean a Sheepskin Rug
While a sheepskin rug may be super delicate and can even feel intimidating to clean, its label instructions will give you the most informative way of maintaining its structure and form. Generally, it's best to clean a sheepskin rug by hand-washing it in lower temperatures and then letting it air-dry. If you must use a washing machine, make sure to use cold water along with a gentle cycle. If you don't need to wash the rug, you can simply spot clean when necessary. Additionally, you can comb out its tangles with a wire brush but try to avoid pulling and tugging at the material.
