DD2 vommed on the sheepkin. I've managed to find the shampoo in the safe place I put it so I would remember Hmm but I don't know how to use it.

Any advice?

I washed mine on the handwash cycle in my machine at 30 degrees using silk and wool detergent.

Someone on here advised me to put some glycerin in the wash to stop the sheepskin going hard. It worked and can be bought from a chemist.

i washed mine with non bio lots and dried it flat then last time i put it in the towel radiator and it burnt it and it has now cracked. :( So yes wash it on a wool wash, then spin again but dry flat or tumble on a low heat and it should be fine.

Thanks for the replies. I have the shampoo that came with it but wasn't sure what to do with it. Will just put it on a wool wash.

That's what I would do, touch of fabric softener too. While it's air drying ruffle it up with your hands from time to time to make sure it's fluffy when dry. I wouldn't tumble it or leave on radiator, washing line was fine with mine.

no softener on wool or leather, please. will make it brittle.
