The Gorgeous Creatures sheepskin woolskin wash is formulated to be safe to use on both the wool and the leather. This is a very important point of difference as most wool washes will harm the sheepskin leather, and older sheepskins might fall apart if you use the wrong type of soap or detergent.
Do not use common wool wash designed for wool only or laundry detergents. The woolskin wash you use MUST be safe for the leather, non-ionic and pH neutral. If the bottle doesn’t say it is safe then it’s NOT safe. You need a specialist product to wash a sheepskin rug.
NOTE:- If your sheepskin rug is very old, let’s say 10 or 15 years or more then washing it, especially in the wrong type of soap may cause the leather to fall apart. Or spinning it in a washing machine could cause tears in the leather.

It is really hard for me to say when this will happen because it depends on how the sheepskin has been tanned, used, stored and how much sun it has received over its lifetime.
Old leather is often perished where the fibers of the leather have started to dry-out, break-down and perish. This aging can not be repaired or reversed. Don’t wash a sheepskin that is more than 30 years old. Any washing using these instructions is done at your own risk.

What if I can’t wash my sheepskins with that sheepskin wash? How else could I do it

Hi, if you can't use this sheepskin wash then I don't recommend that you wash it at all. You could consider dry-cleaning instead.
