This morning my cat said to himself, "I feel like barfing, but the entire house has hardwood floors....wait, I know!" 🐑 🤮 It was so nice, he did it twice!!

Oh no! I’m literally editing a video on removing cat puke from carpet right now! It’ll be up later today 😅

Here is what I did because I'm poorer than option 3 and it worked ok. I took a sponge and applied some bubbles and water to the sponge until it was mostly water left on the sponge. I then gently scrubbed the sheep skin until it seemed "better". I then wiped the sheep skin throughly with an old shirt. There was a bunch of soot on it from adventures. That was it. Also, I cleaned a sheep fur hat, not a rug. This process worked well in the motel I'm at. Now my hats ready for winter and I won't look like oliver twist.

I’m so glad I found your video!!! I just got back from the cleaners and they quoted me $150 USD to clean it! I prefer your method and a lil bit of elbow grease! Thank you for saving me $$$!!!

[@CleaningHowTo]

It works just as well :)

Thank you so much for this video! My cat(s) decided to pee on my sheepskin. And this was so so helpful!

[@CleaningHowTo]

So glad it helped :)

Here for exactly this!!

You are absolutely brilliant. I had a sheepskin rug once... I put it in the bathtub and gave it a bath as if it were still a sheep. Bad way to clean. Good way to ruin.

[@CleaningHowTo]

Yup! Washing machine is terrible for them too!

[@WINKlerEnterprises]

Thanks! Very informative...But. what about the final stages - dying and grooming? Do you leave it on the floor to dry, or hang it? How do you groom it? With the pet brush or what?

[@logicalblueberry]

What type of pet hair brush did you use? I wish you had shown the bristle side. Is it one of the types that have metal bristles? Thank you. I love this video. You methods seem better than most used in other videos.

[@CleaningHowTo]

Metal bristle brush :)

[@fotografiapersognatori]

Hi! Thanks for the info! Can you please write down the solution you used? Thank you very much!😊

[@coralbluenumbertwosemigloss]

For every 1 liter of water 50milliliters of isopropyl alcohol 2 teaspoons of dishwash

[@marilynbarker8255]

I was thinking of trying a dry shampoo. Wondering if that would work? Thanks for your video!

[@CleaningHowTo]

Test a patch and see :)

[@Wish_likeuponastar]

Dry shampoo is basically just a spray powder, formulated to take in oil to make hair look less greasy

[@yaoibyet]

Puedo hacerlo con una alpacaskin?

[@aleshiashoaf3578]

What about old, dark, black stain?

[@CleaningHowTo]

Test it! The colour of the stain means nothing to me; what is it?

[@StarOnTheWater]

I just wash it in the washing machine on the wool setting with shampoo and conditioner. 😬

They can disintegrate when you do this.
