Proper care ensures your shearling pieces maintain their beauty for years. Begin by gently brushing the wool surface with a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt, always following the natural direction of the fibers.

For minor stains, use a clean, damp cloth to blot the affected area without rubbing. Never submerge shearling in water or place it in a washing machine, as this can damage both the leather and wool components. The suede side requires different attention - use a specialized suede brush for maintenance.

Professional cleaning remains the safest option for shearling coats and jackets. Yves Salomon recommends consulting leather specialists who understand the unique properties of sheepskin and can preserve the timeless appeal of your investment pieces.
