Only follow the washing instructions below if you have a medicinal, health or BabyCare sheepskin!

Wash your sheepskin only when necessary. With every wash you wash the lanolin out of the fleece. The lanolin gives the sheepskins all those good properties.

1. Preferably wash the sheepskin by hand in cold water of a maximum temperature of 30°C.
   
   If you prefer to use the washing machine, set it to the wool wash program and/or a temperature of no more than 30°C.
   
   

2. If necessary, you can use a tiny dash of wool detergent. Use as little as possible! By adding a detergent, you can wash the lanolin out of the wool faster. That is why we recommend "Van Buren Wool Detergent with Lanolin". Natural lanolin has been added to this wool detergent so that the wool remains greasy and thus retains the good properties of a natural sheepskin for longer.
   
   Use with "Van Buren Wool detergent with Lanolin" 20ml per 2.5kg dry laundry. The cap has a capacity of approx. 15ml. This amounts to:

   • 1/2 cap for a medicinal sheepskin

   • 1/3 cap for a BabyCare coat

3. Do not spin the sheepskin or only spin it on the lowest possible setting.
   
   

4. Let the sheepskin dry slowly and only in a natural way. So not in a dryer, in full sun or near another heat source.
   
   

5. Stretch the sheepskin several times a day while drying. Both in length and width. This keeps the sheepskin soft and supple.
   
   

6. Washing can cause the coat to felt. After drying, you can comb the sheepskin with a brush to make it nice and soft again. After combing, shake it well to remove all loose wool and remaining dust particles from the coat and give it more volume.
