To rehydrate sheepskin, start by gently brushing it to remove any surface dirt. Then, mix a solution of water and a wool-safe cleaner in a spray bottle. Lightly mist the sheepskin, taking care not to saturate it. Use a soft brush to work the solution gently into the fibers. After cleaning, allow the sheepskin to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Once dry, brush it again to restore its natural fluffiness. For best results, avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals.
