Water resisting
Your Classic Sheepskin Boots are not waterproof unless stated. To help protect your boots and make them water resistant you will need to use Koalabi Water & Oil Repellent spray. Just spray your boots, allow 10 min to dry and wear them away! Water resisting your sheepskin boots will help protect your boots from cooking oil, dirt or water and increase their life. Be aware though, that once your footwear gets wet, you need to apply another coat after they have dried. The first time this coating is applied should ideally be when the footwear is new.
Washing the Boots
Wet entire boot or shoe with cold or warm water. It is important not to use hot water as it may weaken the glue and cause shrinking. Apply Koalabi Shampoo & Conditioner to a clean sponge or soft brush. Clean the entire area thoroughly and evenly. Once you have washed and rinsed the footwear in cold water. After washing, boots can be sprayed with Koalabi Water & Oil Repellent spray.
Reshape by stuffing with a paper towel.
Allow to dry naturally and slowly - DO NOT dry in direct heat or sunlight.
Koalabi boots cannot be dried in a clothes dryer. They must be air dried, preferably hanging upside down from the sole and away from heat and direct sunlight. The boots will take several days to dry completely. You will notice once the footwear has dried that they have shrunk slightly but this is normal. After wearing them for an hour or so, they will go back to the normal, warm and comfortable state you are used to and at the same time, be clean.
If you have a grease stain on your footwear, use a razor or sharp knife to scrub some powder from white chalk over the stain, leave it for a few minutes. Then blow away the access chalk and with your hand, gently rub the stain. Repeat this a few times until the stain has almost disappeared. For extremely tough stains you can gently rub the stain with sandpaper but beware that this may take the colour away.
Plush sheepskin rugs look and feel wonderful, but the fluffy material can be a dirt magnet and quickly become matted and tangled in the course of everyday use.
How to Vacuum a Sheepskin Rug
A sheepskin rug can be cleaned on a regular basis using vacuuming. Regular vacuuming will keep the rug looking like new by removing hair, grime, and invisible soils like pollen and dander.
But, it's crucial to just use the vacuum's suction function when cleaning sheepskin rugs; using carpeting attachments with a beater bar or revolving bar on sheepskin rugs might tangle the fibers. To safely vacuum your rug, use the nozzle or upholstery attachment if your vacuum does not have a head with a beater brush. To prevent tangles, work in the direction that the hair grows.
How to Restore a Matted Sheepskin Rug
Matting occurs when long hair fibers become tangled and knotted; it is a normal occurrence on a sheepskin rug that can be easily remediated.
What You'll Need
Start by shake the rug well to loosen any debris and fluff up any areas that haven't been matted.
Working in the direction that the hair grows, gently brush out the tangles using a wool comb or a slicker brush, a metal-bristled instrument made for pet hair.
