You can wash your sheepskin slippers by hand. It's essential to follow specific steps to ensure that the luxurious material remains intact and continues to provide comfort and warmth. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to hand wash your ONAIE sheepskin slippers:
Remove surface dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth to remove any loose dirt from the surface of the slippers.
Fill a basin with cold water and add a small amount of mild detergent specifically designed for wool and sheepskin. Avoid using hot water as it can shrink the wool and damage the leather. Submerge the slippers in the water and gently agitate them. Use a sponge or a soft brush to clean the slippers, focusing on stained or soiled areas. Do not wring or twist the slippers as this can deform them.
Rinse the slippers thoroughly with cold water until all soap residue is gone. Soap left in the wool can make it stiff and uncomfortable.
Gently press the slippers with a towel to remove excess water. To maintain their shape, stuff them with paper towels or a cardboard wedge. Avoid using newspaper as the ink can transfer. Let the slippers air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Direct heat can cause the leather to harden and crack.
Once dry, use a soft brush to restore the wool’s fluffiness. This will help keep your slippers looking and feeling soft.
For minor stains, use a clean cloth or sponge to blot the area with cold water and a mild detergent.
Following these steps will help ensure your ONAIE sheepskin slippers stay in great condition for years to come, allowing you to enjoy their luxurious comfort and warmth all year round.
