Can sheepskin chair get wet?

Sheepskin is a natural material obtained from sheep, and while it is generally resilient, it is not advisable to get it excessively wet. 

If a sheepskin chair gets wet, it can lead to some issues:

   1. Damage to the Sheepskin: Excessive moisture can cause the sheepskin to shrink, become stiff, or lose its softness and natural texture. 

       This could ruin the chair's appearance and comfort.

    2. Odor and Mold: If the sheepskin remains damp for an extended period, it may develop an unpleasant odor due to bacterial growth. 

     Additionally, mold and mildew could form on the sheepskin, potentially causing health issues and further damaging the material.

    3. Staining: Water can cause stains on the sheepskin, especially if the water is dirty or contains substances that can discolor the material.

1. Color Fading: In some cases, prolonged exposure to water or sunlight might cause the sheepskin's color to fade.

If you accidentally spill a small amount of water on the sheepskin chair, you should promptly blot the moisture with a dry cloth or towel. 

Avoid rubbing the wet area, as that can further damage the sheepskin fibers. 

Then, allow the chair to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources or sunlight.

To protect your sheepskin chair from potential spills and stains, consider using a sheepskin spray or protective sealant designed for such materials.

 These products can provide a degree of water resistance and make the chair easier to clean.

Overall, it's best to prevent the sheepskin chair from getting wet whenever possible to maintain its appearance and longevity.
