Sheepskin Rug Care

Keep your sheepskin soft and fresh with simple regular care.

Routine maintenance

Shake out your rug every couple of weeks and give it a gentle brush once or twice a month using a slicker or Bowron Care Brush. This keeps the fibres fluffy and removes dust in just a minute or two.

Spot cleaning

For small marks, use cold water and a natural soap or Woolskin Sheepskin Shampoo. Dampen a soft scrub brush, apply a little soap, and gently work the area until clean. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and blot dry. Hang in the shade and allow it to air dry - never use direct heat or sunlight.

Deep cleaning

Hand wash only when needed using cold water and Woolskin Sheepskin Shampoo. Avoid machine washing, bleach, or hot water as these can damage the leather backing.

Freshen up

To absorb odours or moisture, sprinkle baking soda onto the wool, leave for about an hour, then brush or vacuum it out.

With regular brushing and gentle care, your sheepskin rug will stay beautifully soft for years. Learn more on how to care for your wool rug with our care guide.

Classic Premium Sheepskin Rug: Octo FAQs

How do I clean a sheepskin rug?

Smaller rugs can be machine or hand washed in warm water (maximum 40C) using Woolskin Wool Wash, a sheepskin-specific shampoo that's free from the enzymes and bleach found in regular detergents. Spin out excess water, then dry flat (ideally over several lines) and gently reshape while damp. Large rugs are better spot cleaned with diluted shampoo and a damp cloth, or washed outside on a strong line. Brush the wool while damp and again when dry to restore loft.

How do I make my sheepskin rug soft and fluffy again after it's gone matted or flat?

Wool fibres are remarkably resilient and will bounce back. Give the rug a vigorous shake to release any fold marks from shipping, then brush the wool with a stiff wool brush, we recommend the Bowron Care Brush. For a fully matted rug, brush while it's slightly damp (mist with water) and again when dry. Most rugs look brand new again after this treatment.

Can I put a sheepskin rug in the washing machine?

Smaller rugs yes, in warm water (40C) with Woolskin Wool Wash on a gentle cycle. Larger and heavier rugs are better washed by hand, they become very heavy when wet and the weight can stretch the hide if hung from a single line. For rugs over 8-pelt size we suggest spot cleaning at home or professional cleaning if a full wash is needed.

What's the difference between long wool, curly wool, medical and twinface sheepskin?

Long wool sheepskin keeps the natural soft silky lamb's wool tip and is used for rugs, pillows and car seat covers. Curly wool comes from a specific breed clipped to highlight the 'pig tail' curls. Medical sheepskin is densely packed and clipped to a uniform 25mm pile for bedding and wheelchair use. Twinface is reserved for footwear, with a suede finish on the leather side. Our Sheepskin Types information page has photos and more detail.

Are your sheepskin rugs ethically sourced?

Yes. Sheepskin is a natural by-product of the lamb meat industry, not a primary product. We source from New Zealand's leading sheepskin tanneries who use safe processes free from harsh chemicals. Around 95% of what we sell is manufactured in New Zealand, and the sheepskins themselves are sourced locally or from Australia.
