Care Instructions
WOLLY lambskins are products of the highest quality.
Explanation:
WOLLY lambskins are natural products whose beauty and quality are best preserved through gentle care. Each wash alters the product and contributes to wear and tear. Natural wool has self-cleaning and antibacterial properties. We recommend washing the skins no sooner than about 2 years after intensive use. That is why we have prepared the following care instructions for you.
Care Instructions:
Shaking it out, brushing it, and airing it out regularly often makes washing unnecessary!
!!!Long-pile hides can also be washed. However, the subsequent processing of the wool is very labor-intensive!!!
For light soiling, you can wipe away stains with a damp sponge or cloth and a mild soap solution. Then pat the fur dry.
For heavier soiling, all washable lambskins can be machine-washed on the wool cycle at 30 °C. Use a special, moisturizing detergent containing lanolin.
After washing, spin-dry the pelt thoroughly (at least 10 minutes at 1,400 rpm) so that the leather side remains as dry as possible. If the leather is too wet, it may harden—in this case, the pelt should be washed and spin-dried again.
To prevent matting, brush the wool while it is damp using a suitable brush. We recommend our real-wood fur brush for this purpose. Coarser mats can be loosened with your fingers and then brushed out.
Let the fur dry flat in a well-ventilated, shaded area — ideally with the leather side facing up on a clothes rack. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as these can damage the material.
While drying, the fur should be regularly pulled back into its original shape and softened by gently kneading it. It is especially recommended to repeat this step several times toward the end of the drying process.
Once the leather is almost dry, you can tumble dry the hide for about 10 minutes (on the refresh cycle, without heat) to make it even softer.
Once it is completely dry, you can brush the wool again with a suitable brush — after that, your coat will be ready to wear again.
We’d be happy to take care of the proper cleaning and conditioning of your furs for you. We can professionally and affordably clean and condition larger furs or those with long fur that don’t fit in your washing machine.
Please note that improper handling may result in damage to the product. We cannot accept any liability in such cases.
