Sheepskin Slipper Care Instructions

Caring for sheepskin slippers will help extend their life and keep them looking and feeling great. Here are some care instructions:

Daily Care:
  • Shake Out: After wearing, shake the slippers to remove dust or dirt.
  • Air Out: Allow them to air out after use to prevent moisture buildup.

Cleaning:
  1. Surface Cleaning:
    • Use a suede brush or a soft-bristle brush to gently remove dirt from the sheepskin. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  2. Spot Cleaning:
    • For small stains, use a sheepskin cleaner or a mild detergent diluted with water.
    • Dab the area with a clean cloth dampened with the solution; do not soak the sheepskin.
    • Use a different clean, damp cloth to rinse by dabbing, then let it air dry.
  3. Deep Cleaning:
    • Hand Wash: If the slippers are heavily soiled, you might hand wash them. Use lukewarm water and a wool or sheepskin-specific detergent.
      • Submerge the slippers gently, squeezing the suds through the sheepskin without rubbing.
      • Rinse with cool water by pressing, not wringing.
    • Machine Wash: Only if the care label allows, use a gentle cycle with cold water. Place slippers in a mesh bag for protection.

Drying:
  • Air Dry: Stuff the slippers with paper towels or newspaper to retain shape and absorb moisture. Replace the paper as it gets damp.
  • Avoid Direct Heat: Never use direct heat like hairdryers, radiators, or direct sunlight to dry sheepskin as it can cause the leather to harden or crack.
  • Let them dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Conditioning:
  • After cleaning and once completely dry, you might want to use a sheepskin conditioner or protector spray. This will help keep the leather soft and repel liquids and stains.

Odor Control:
  • Sprinkle baking soda inside the slippers and leave overnight to absorb odors, then shake out or vacuum.
  • Use specialized shoe deodorizers or odor-absorbing insoles if necessary.

Storage:
  • Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic bags as they can trap moisture; instead, use breathable fabric bags.
  • Keep away from direct sunlight when storing to prevent fading.

Additional Tips:
  • Water Repellency: Consider applying a sheepskin or suede protector to help repel water and stains, but always test on a small area first.
  • Sheepskin Insole: If your slippers have removable insoles, take them out to air separately, which can help with drying and deodorizing.

By adhering to these guidelines, your sheepskin slippers should remain comfortable, clean, and durable for many seasons. Remember, sheepskin is a natural material, so slight variations in texture and color over time are normal.
