Cleaning Shearling Coats at Home
Cleaning a shearling coat at home is easier than you think. Follow these steps:
- Pre-cleaning Prep: Start by shaking off any loose dirt or debris. Use a soft-bristled brush to get rid of surface dust.
- Spot Cleaning: For stains use a damp cloth and a small amount of natural soap. Don’t soak the coat.
- Air Dry: After cleaning hang the coat in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sun.
Don’t use harsh chemicals, soaking or scrubbing as these can damage the shearling fabric.

For tough stains or deep cleaning, go for professional shearling cleaning services. These experts use specialized equipment and eco-friendly methods to get your coat clean without damaging the texture or color.
When choosing a cleaner look for experience in cleaning luxury shearling coats and ask about their process. A professional cleaning service will include:
- Deep stain removal
- Odor neutralization
- Fur rejuvenation
How to Store Shearling Coats
Storing shearling coats during the off-season is key to keeping them in shape and preventing damage. Follow these:
- Use a breathable garment bag to keep the coat dust free and allow air to circulate.
- Hang the coat on a sturdy, padded hanger to prevent creasing or misshaping.
- Store it in a cool, dark and dry place as excess moisture or sunlight can damage the sheepskin and fur.
- Add moth repellents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets to keep pests away.
Shearling Coat Problems and Solutions
Shearling coats are tough but can develop problems over time. Here’s how to fix:
- Stains: Use a suede eraser for small stains. For big stains go to a pro.
- Odors: Sprinkle the inside with baking soda, let it sit for a few hours, then shake it out.
- Worn Spots: Apply shearling conditioner to the dried or cracked areas.
Maintenance will prevent these from happening so your coat stays in great shape.
