Washing Sheepskin Tendon Boots

[MagicMelon]

Stupidly used my beloved Eskadron sheepskin tendon boots at a muddy show a while ago and now (even though Ive tried handwashing them) the sheepskin is all brown! Is there some sort of bleach / whitenening stuff which is safe to use on sheepskin to bring it back to what it should be??

Beware of bleach - it can make the sheepskin do a sort of dark yellow! Have you tried vanish soap rubbed in well and left for a bit before rinsiing? The other option is bio washing powder but that shouldn't be done too often!

If they were mine i would wash them in the machine on a cool, quick wash program. I always used to with my clarendon boots, good luck

I have the same boots and as an avid XC-er back in the UK, mine got horrendously dirty, wet and muddy.

I used to throw mine in the washing machine with Fairy detergent and some fabric softener and they came out looking like new every time!

You could try Bartl Biosol, it's in a can & recommended by Bartl for cleaning their sheepskin products.
