How to clean suede sheepskin coats at home

Suede is beautiful and pleasant to the touch, outerwear made from it is very warm, but still this material is quite capricious. When wearing suede sheepskin coats, many problems appear, and the main ones are that the suede becomes shiny and stains appear on it.

It will be problematic to properly clean a suede sheepskin coat at home if it has been cared for occasionally. In order for such clothes to maintain a good appearance for a long time, you must constantly ensure that a continuous greasy film does not form on it and that the fibers do not stick together.

The simplest preventive measures to prevent suede from becoming shiny is to literally treat its surface with a hair brush or a special rubber brush every other day during wear. If there is no brush, fine sandpaper will do, the main thing is that the movements are neat and directed in one direction.

What to do if the suede is already shiny?

At home, numerous “wet” and “dry” ways to clean a sheepskin coat using improvised means will help. What to choose? You will have to make a choice, depending on the degree of contamination and the availability of certain products at home.

Dry methods are a priority, choose:

• Glossy areas on a suede sheepskin coat can be cleaned using a school eraser. Pellets will form, so they will need to be shaken out thoroughly. If you don’t have a rubber band, a bread crust from any type of bread will do.
• You can try to roll out dirt or greasy stains on a sheepskin coat with regular bread crumbs. Not a single bread ball will be needed, as they will have to be replaced periodically before the area is completely clean. Upon completion of rolling out, you should also go over with a brush.
• The most popular option is using semolina and a regular textile household glove. Pour a handful of cereal onto your gloved hand and rub it into the suede in a circle. The result is visible almost instantly - the semolina becomes dirty, you will have to replace it and continue cleaning in the same way until the semolina remains light. At the end, carefully shake off all remnants of semolina from your clothes.
• A similar option as with semolina, but you need to take table salt. The method is good, but there is a high probability of ruining the suede surface if the movements are too intense.
• Starch has also proven itself well. Pour it onto the greasy stain on the sheepskin coat and wait until the starch absorbs the fat. If necessary, the blackened starch is replaced with fresh one and the procedure is repeated.

Some wet methods are not suitable if you are allergic. If there are no health problems, you can try the following:

• Apply gasoline to a cotton pad and wipe all problem areas with it.
• Instead of gasoline, we take kerosene and apply it to rags. We walk it over the contaminated surface. This method is ideal if the dirt is old, but is only suitable for dark types of suede.
• A more smoky method is to use milk (take one glass) and baking soda (a teaspoon is enough). Mix the ingredients and apply the resulting solution to cotton pads and wipe away dirt with them. Upon completion of the work, it is necessary to treat the sheepskin coat with a vinegar solution (a teaspoon of table vinegar per 200 ml of water). The solution is applied to a dry cloth and used for finishing.
• A mixture of 4 parts water and 1 part ammonia can help remove the most severe stains. After treating with alcohol, you should immediately go through the following solution, made from one tablespoon of vinegar per 500 ml of water.

Attention! All the wet and dry methods described above for cleaning a suede sheepskin coat must be used extremely carefully. Before large-scale cleaning of a sheepskin coat, you need to try the chosen method on an inconspicuous area and check the result.

Cleaning genuine leather sheepskin coats

If you need to clean a leather sheepskin coat, many housewives try to wash it at home, which is strictly forbidden to do, as the item may shrink and the elasticity of the leather will be impaired. Washing is prohibited, but you can try to carefully treat the contamination with a soap solution.

How to refresh a light sheepskin coat and remove stains from it

A light sheepskin coat will remain like new for a long time if you make it a rule to clean it every day with a special brush for suede and nubuck. This should not be done immediately upon arrival from the street, but after a few hours, so that the item has time to dry. Thanks to such actions, all the dust will be shaken out and the light fibers will not fade for a long time. Instead of a brush, you can use a regular office eraser.

It is more practical to have such clothes professionally cleaned, but this takes time and money. What to do if you urgently need to clean a light sheepskin coat at home? We suggest trying to refresh your clothes in the following ways:

• You will need a choice of tooth powder, chalk or semolina and a cotton household glove. The glove has pimples that would normally be on the palm, but now you need to put the glove on so that the pimples are on the outside. Pour the selected product into your gloved palm and begin to rub it into the contaminated pile. The contaminated powder is changed and the procedure is repeated until it remains white.
• A small amount of tooth powder is diluted with ammonia to make a paste. The mixture is applied to the item using a rough brush and rubbed in to remove grease stains.
• You can also make a solution of ammonia and water from equal parts. The resulting liquid is applied to a cotton swab and all contaminated areas of a light sheepskin coat are treated with it. Particular attention is paid to the cuffs, collar, pockets and areas around the buttons.

Attention! A white or light sheepskin coat at home can only be cleaned using a dry method, since the wet method can leave stains on the item and the damaged appearance cannot be corrected.
