?? Laundering sheep skin rug question ??

[TOM KAN PA]

I have one of those irregular shaped sheep skin rugs. It is a mess, matted,
dirty, etc..
How do I wash it. I was told that it can be done in clothes washing machine,
but I was told what to use as a detergent or soap, or a fabric softener, how to
dry it.
So, how do I wash it?

Greetings!

Just took my "dead sheep" out of my washer/dryer.
We've been washing it for years.
I have a client that has been washing her son's "dead sheep" for twenty
years now.
VERY IMPORTANT

1) Launder if dirty
2) softener if needed

These things are durable.... God made them to keep sheep guts in, and wolf
teeth out.

You could always hire a local teen, just learning how to do the wash. They
are cheap, and worth every penny..

OK, I just took mine out of the dryer. It's cleaner and yellow!

How do I whiten it again?

They are not ALL washable. It depends on the tanning for one thing.
Sometimes they fall apart, sometimes after drying then can go yellow.

You just found out that it wasn't washable. You can only bleach the wool -
but the potential for damage is high both with the leather and the wool.
