Ecowool sheepskin rugs are environmentally-friendly and made exclusively from New Zealand sheepskins. They’re manufactured 100% in New Zealand, so we can assure every stage of their supply and production, and unlike some inferior sheepskins they’re not tanned using harsh chemicals like arsenic and formaldehyde.

• The sheepskins are expertly trimmed, machine washed and left to dry in the sun.
• The tanned fleece is then combed over and over by hand to enhance the natural lustre of the sheep’s wool.
• The finished rug takes over 25 stages, expertly carried out by skilled hands.
• Ecowool sheepskin rugs are super-soft, natural and warm creamy white.
• Also available in a range of great colours, and can be custom made to any dimensions.
• Easy care and long lasting, our best-selling rugs year after year.

Sheepskin Care and Storage

Sheepskin is incredibly easy to care for, it has an inherent natural ability to repel dirt and liquid.

A regular vacuum using the standard nozzle (only) or shaking the rug is generally all that is required to keep your sheepskin clean.

Your product may have been tightly packaged for shipping and so the wool may appear flattened. Wool fibers are very resilient and will bounce back to their original soft, fluffy appearance with a vigorous shake. Lay the skin flat and any fold marks will disappear naturally after a few days.

In the event further cleaning is required then please follow these specific guidelines

Storage

If you wish to store your sheepskin, place in a cool, airy place away from direct sunlight. We do not recommend storing in plastic bags for an extended period of time as the fibres will not breathe and condensation may occur in warm conditions.

Whilst we endeavor to provide helpful information, washing and drying of sheepskin products is done at your risk and we cannot be held responsible for unforeseen damage that may occur.
