Woolskin

I have two young boys who were born just 14 months apart ... and a house full of sheepskin products from skins in their cots (now in their beds), skins in their prams and carseats, as I am a firm believer that sheepskin helps keep the boys dry and helps regulate temperature. I have used Woolskin to wash these products since the boys were born, and although they don't suffer from allergies, I want their sheepskins to be clean and mite-free. Since using Woolskin for the sheepskins, I've gone on to use it for a whole host of washables ... woollen knits, pillows, blankets, doonas, polarfleece items ... even my curtains! I remember being told after my first son was born in 2001 that 'sheepskins aren't a good idea because they can cause allergies and asthma because of dustmites and moulds'. Being a journalist, I like to research things thoroughly and believe that a well-maintained sheepskin offers my children great comfort benefits, and no health problems whatsoever. My sheepskins are still soft, clean and beautiful .. and I expect they will stay that way for many, many years. They cost a lot of money, I wouldn't wash them in anything else.

Wool Plus - the wool wash for sheepskin

Originally I bought WoolPlus from Coles and bought it because the label stated I could wash sheepskin. Up until then I thought skins where a dry clean only item. I have a lovely sheepskin and the dry cleaning quote was horrific and they were unsure of the outcome due to it's extremely long pile. Then I saw your bottle and figured... nothing ventured and gave it a shot using the directions on the back. The tumble dry idea kinda freaked me out at first but for nothing. The result was fantastic! Fresh and clean!! Thanks heaps.

Woolscour

It is a ram's fleece, cross Corriedale/Merino, a beautiful, soft, black fleece but EXTREMELY greasy. He was uncoated, which means it had more dirt in it than usual. I don't know if you know, but most sheep kept for hand spinning wear coats to keep the fleece in A1 condition. I had 1.7kg of the fleece where the staple was under 100mm, a bit too short for me to spin in the grease. Because it is such a fine fleece I was going to get the 1.7kg professionally prepared which cost more than the fleece per kilo; but as your Woolscour has worked so well I thought I would give it a go. I used 60ml x 2 washes, a total of 120ml, and I washed the whole 1.7kg in one go, (looked bit like a hairy monster in the laundry tub) but it couldn't have worked out better in my opinion.
