A lambskin jacket is a particularly warm and fluffy jacket. Especially in winter, many people prefer this soft and warm clothing. Although lambskin jackets are warm and cute, they are not easy to wash.
So, can lambskin jackets be machine washed? Lambskin jackets cannot be machine washed, because lambskin is a fabric component mainly made of animal hair, which contains a large amount of animal protein fiber, which is particularly prone to shrinkage. If you throw it directly into the washing machine for machine washing, it is easy for the lambskin jacket to shrink and deform. Moreover, washing machine cleaning is generally more violent, which can easily destroy the fluffiness of the lambskin jacket and affect the wearing experience. Therefore, machine washing is not recommended for lambskin jackets.
What is a lambskin jacket?
A lambskin jacket refers to a garment made of yarn containing wool, which has the advantages of strong warmth retention and fluffiness. Lambskin fabric refers to a fabric whose length and fineness are between wool and cashmere. Some testing departments will also judge fine wool as cashmere when conducting physical analysis tests. Cashmere is softer than wool and lambskin, and it is relatively more comfortable to wear.
The material of lambskin is a layer of wool on the lamb. Therefore, the composition of lambskin is far less precious than cashmere. Although lambskin fabric is also a common warm material, the industry has no strict standard. Many times, other ingredients are added to lambskin fabrics, which are actually a kind of chemical fiber fabric.
Jackets with a relatively high content of lambskin are light, drapey, soft, and smooth to the touch. Moreover, this kind of lambskin fabric is durable and wear-resistant, and has high fiber strength. However, after special processing, lambskin jackets are still not corrosion-resistant and are easy to shrink and deform. Therefore, lambskin jackets cannot be washed in a washing machine.
How to wash lambskin jackets?
A lambskin jacket is a jacket made of lambskin fabric. It is warm but not suitable for washing. Dry cleaning is generally recommended. But if you think dry cleaning is too expensive, we can also try some practical cleaning tips.
1: Salt cleaning method
Salt has certain sterilization and cleaning capabilities, so if the lambskin jacket is dirty and you don't want to choose dry cleaning. We can find a relatively large plastic bag that can hold the size of the lambskin jacket. Then add about 100g of salt, seal the plastic bag and shake it vigorously. In this process, the salt can absorb the stains on the surface of the lambskin jacket, making the lambskin jacket cleaner and fluffier. After the salt becomes dirty, we take out the lambskin jacket and shake off the salt.
2: Cleaning spray cleaning method
Cleaning spray is a spray with strong decontamination ability. We only need to spray it on the dirty part of the clothes, and then wipe it gently with a clean rag to wipe off the original stains. It is also a relatively simple and direct method. It should be noted that this method is only suitable for small areas of stains. If the area is too large, the cleaning strength is not enough.
3: Local brushing method
Although it is not recommended to wash lambskin jackets with water, we can choose to use local brushing. This method only requires a little bit of water solution, then add a little neutral detergent, and scrub carefully with a brush. The stains on the surface of the lambskin jacket are particularly easy to brush clean. Isn't it very simple? It should be noted that you should not dip too much during the brushing process to prevent the clothes from deforming.
