Sheepskin may sometimes be called as lambskin, or the hide of the sheep. Unlike the common leather this is tanned having a fleece intact like pelt. This had been used already for many different products such as covering, hats, footstools, invalid and baby rugs, pelts, clothing, gloves, slippers, and automotive seat covers.
Fleece or wool is also being considered by medical profession as hypoallergenic. The sheepskin itself is already an insulator, drawing away the perspiration from wearers to the fibers. In the older times, sheepskin vests, boots, coats, and faux sheepskin rug are commonly used by people. So here are the steps of cleaning the item while maintaining the quality.

And since a wool or fleece material is being used, be sure to the use the delicate wool solution and a small amount to the water. The item surely contains a label of instructions so make sure to follow them carefully to maintain its quality and as well as the appearance.
Using hot water in washing would be fine. However, using this excessively may bring unnecessary disadvantages. Some disadvantages include resulting to a difficult rinsing process, the leather becomes damaged and shrunk, the colors may possibly fade, the wool piles may felt, and there maybe some dirt and stains and it maybe hard to remove them.
A woolskin shampoo and conditioner is recommended for use in washing and not the wool detergents. These detergents contain phosphates, bleach, triethanolamine, phosphoric acid, chelating agents, alkali, peroxide, sequestering agents, or enzymes. All of these might be harmful to the leather, and thus, using these must be avoided.
Place the rug into the tub fleece in a side down position. Make sure to immerse it fully in the warm water. Similar to washing any other clothing, you may leave the rug and soak it in the water with solution in order for the dirt to be removed by the delicate wash and in order for the smell to stick on it. Thus, there is no need for you to really scrub it which can be one of the causes for it to be worn out and damaged.
