Below is a general guide to caring for your Creswick products
Caring for Sheepskins
Brushing
Brushing is effective on unshorn, long wool products only. After washing, the wool fibres will likely revert back to their natural curly state. When the fibre is wet, brush with a wire wool comb and it will help restore the fluffy appearance and natural “loft” of the fibre once it dries.
Drying
Air-dry your sheepskin by hanging it on a line or laying it out flat – although please remember, not in direct sunlight. It is important to stretch sheepskin during the drying process – this helps to retain the shape and prevent excessive shrinkage. Please do not tumble dry, iron or bleach your sheepskin!
Washing
Auskin natural sheepskins can be hand washed in warm water (40°C / 104°F) using a mild liquid detergent that is suitable for hand washing dishes. Please note that hand washing may affect the appearance of the natural wool fibres and the leather pelt. Creswick recommends Dry Cleaning for optimum results.
Spills and Stains
To avoid permanent damage, accidental spills and stains should be dealt with immediately. Before using any stain treatment, make sure you have ‘contained the stain’ and this will stop it from spreading further.
