Help! Vomit on sheepskin rug!

[PrettyCandles]

Dd has just vomitted on a massive sheepskin rug. I know what to do about dd, but I don't know what to do about the rug!

Help!

I have a sheepsking rug and it is machine washable but don't know if all are.

If it were me, I would put it in the bath or shower and try to shower the worst of it off, for tonight.

Then tomorrow I'd probably put it in the machine on the wool wash and hope for the best. If you don't want to put it in the machine then maybe take it outside and hose it down and use some shampoo on in? Stamp on it in a grape-treading manner .... then rinse off.

Or take it to a specialist cleaner.

Sorry, meant sheepskin ... The way I see it, is was on a sheep once in all weathers, a bit of water won't hurt it.

You can machine wash them. I used to all the time when DSs were little.

This one is big - 4 large sewn-together skins. It won't fit in any washing machine, and if I start wetting it inhe bath I won't be able to pick it up again!

I'm also worried about washing it. I have a macine-washable sheepskin buggy-liner, which I washed on a wool cycle with specialist wool cleaner, and it was never the same again. A felted buggyliner is still perfectly useable, but if this rug felted it would be ruined.

Vomit is a bugger to get out by handwashing, in any case.

Can anyone suggest a specialist cleaner in the South-East, preferably near Reading?
