How best to care for your sheepskin hot water bottles and draught excluders

Sheepskin is a naturally hard-wearing material and with a little care, can last a lifetime.

Sheepskin & leather does not benefit from dry cleaning because whilst the cleaning process might remove dirt and grime, this process also removes some of the natural oils that soften the skin. Instead, regular brushing, vacuuming and shaking is recommended. For spot cleaning, use a mild warm soap or colour free gentle shampoo solution and rinse with clear cold water. Towel dry.

Do not comb the curly sheepskin as this will cause it to become frizzy.

Sheepskin: an eco friendly choice

Our sheepskins are by-products of the food industry. Our maker works closely with a specialist Leather Working Group-certified tannery. The Leather Working Group is a not-for-profit organisation focused on the environmental impact of leather manufacturing.

Wool is part of the natural carbon cycle. Even if it does reach landfill, wool breaks down in just 3-4 months and acts like a fertiliser by slowly releasing valuable nutrients and carbon back into the soil. 

How to use your sheepskin hot water bottle

Do not use boiling water, fill to two thirds capacity maximum.

When not in use remove from cover, drain and remove stopper. Store out of sunlight. Periodically check the bottle and stopper for wear and damage prior to use.
