Guess who just splashed dark blue fabric dye onto her neutral coloured Christmas present slippers ? :smack:
Not sure if this should go in Café Soc but there is a factual answer I’m sure. The dye packaging doesn’t list the active ingredients but it was one of those sachets where you add boiling water to realse the dye then soak the fabric in hot salted water for 20 mins before allwoing it to cool and then rinsing in cold water.
Any suggestions for removing the drip marks from the slippers ?
You’re not supposed to soak sheepskin when washing but we’re talking about stain removal here and whatever chance my method has of working, I doubt you’ll find anything else that doesn’t involve soaking.
Can the worst result of soaking be worse than leaving them as they are now?
If the footwear is to be used outdoors, we recommend the use of a Water & Stain Repellent suitable for sheepskin footwear. Light stains can be removed using a damp cloth. A more thorough cleaning can be achieved using a sheepskin/leather footwear Cleaner & Conditioner. Alternatively Hand wash in cold (water not to exceed 50 degrees Fahrenheit) using a mild detergent. We recommend Eucalan® WOOL WASH. Please only use detergents which are non-alkaline, non-iconic and do not contain biological enzymes. Bleach / enzymes counter-act the tanning process causing damage to the sheepskin. Do not use fabric softeners. Do NOT put sheepskin footwear in the washing machine. After washing, remove excess water using paper towel, and if required reshape by stuffing with dry paper towels. Allow to dry naturally and slowly, avoiding direct sunlight. Do not place in Dryer, excessive heat may damage the genuine sheepskin fur and the leather.
