Care for faux sherpa

Best way will be a spot cleaning, that you will need a mixture of either detergent or bleach and water.

Things to note when cleaning sherpa fabric

• Avoid the use of softeners for cleaning sherpa; they tend to leave stains on the fabric
• Bleach can cause discoloration of the fabric, if you must, use a very minute amount with enough water
• Excess water, detergent, and constant washing will damage the fur in a short period
• Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the furniture before trying it out on the overall body

A bit about sherpa…
Sherpa gets its name from the Sherpa people of Nepal. Traditionally, Sherpas wear clothing lined with wool to help them keep warm in the dangerously cold Nepalese winters. Contrary to the sheep’s wool that the Sherpa people wear, most sherpa fabric used in the fashion and design industries today is made out of cotton, polyester, or other synthetic textiles. So you can rest at peace in your new fave sherpa accent chair, as no animals were harmed in its making.
