Hi there,
I have white sheep skin rugs which need a good cleaning. How to make them clean and white again? Please help.
Thanks

I throw mine in the washer with a special detergent. I also have a sheepskin saddlepad which gets really dirty, same thing. For drying I put mine on these laundry-stands. They come out absolutely beautiful. You can put 1/2 cup of vinegar in the last rinse, that softens the leather a bit.

Have a look at http://www.sheepskin.org.uk for information on how to clean your sheepskin rug. I think the general consensus is that the washing machine can be used but just make sure you clean it on its own. The site is more detailed than I!
