Sheepskin is an amazing material & has self-cleaning properties, is naturally anti-bacterial & repels water, therefore to keep your FLATOUT bear in great condition, it does not need to be washed frequently.
Your FLATOUT bear does NOT need to be washed before use.
If your FLATOUT bear is loved & cherished every day, its lifespan can be limited. In order to prolong the life of your FLATOUT bear, spot clean any significant marks & only wash your FLATOUT bear if it is really dirty, following the detailed washing instructions below.
The sheepskin of the FLATOUT bear can be affected by washing & the texture of the wool can change. please take this into consideration before washing.
spot cleaning or washing your bear
step 1: wait for a nice, dry & sunny day
step 2: dissolve a small amount of sheepskin detergent* or woolwash (i.e. non-alkaline mild liquid detergent wool wash) in a bucket of cool water (never use hot water)
step 3: dip a soft cloth into the water
step 4: spot clean the dirty mark (don’t saturate the FLATOUTbear)
step 5: gently rub dry with a clean dry cloth
step 6: dry flat in shade (see detailed in step 7 below)
or
to wash your FLATOUT bear
step 3: slosh your FLATOUT bear up & down a few times in the solution; you want a gentle action of water moving through the wool to dislodge dirt particles
step 4: rub gently by hand until clean
step 5: rinse with cold running water
step 6: gently squeeze excess water from your FLATOUT bear – DO NOT WRING DRY. roll the FLATOUTbear in a dry towel to squeeze out any moisture
step 7: lay your FLATOUT bear on a clean, dry towel, pulling it into shape, making sure it is flat. allow to dry in the shade. please be patient as this can take a day or two depending on the weather. it is important that it dries slowly away from direct heat i.e. direct sunlight & artificial heat as the hide can shrink &/or harden. don’t be tempted to speed up the drying process. natural air flow helps the drying process. fast drying shrinks & hardens the hide
Please DO NOT put your FLATOUT bear in the washing machine (even on a hand wash cycle) nor in the dryer.
