Caring for Sheepskin Products
Routine Maintenance
• Shake regularly: Take rugs or throws outside and give them a good shake to remove dust and restore loft.
• Brush the wool: Use a wire pet slicker brush or a wool carding brush weekly or bi-weekly to keep the fibers fluffy and free of tangles.
• Vacuum with care: Use plain suction settings only. Avoid rotating brush bars or power heads that can damage the hide or pull out fibers.
• Avoid direct sunlight: Keep sheepskin away from harsh sun to prevent the wool and leather from fading, yellowing, or drying out.
Spot Cleaning Spills
• Blot immediately: Press a clean, dry white cloth or paper towel into the spill to absorb as much liquid as possible without rubbing.
• Use wool-safe cleaner: Dab the area gently with a damp cloth and a mild detergent specifically made for wool or sheepskin. Keep the leather backing as dry as possible.
• Absorb odours: Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch onto the wool, let it sit for an hour to absorb oils or smells, then brush or vacuum it out.
• Wash sparingly, using a specialist sheepskin detergent, following their instructions and dry naturally.

Recycling
Thank you for purchasing a natural biodegradable dog mattress. Ensuring in its responsible disposal, if it becomes damaged or unwanted, you’re thinking about a sustainable future.
- Natural latex and coir
- Wool
- Natural, organic fabrics like cotton and recycled denim
The natural biodegradable materials used in the mattress can be easily broken down to each element for recycling or reuse. You can wash, replace or reuse elements from the mattress. Wool is a wonderful insulator and will help as an insulating layer in the compost bin or to protect roots of delicate plants. Coir can be re-used as a permeable layer in pots and hanging baskets. Please share with us your creative ideas for reusing and recycling.
