If you have found a pair of awesome sheepskin boots or slippers at a thrift shop in Panama City Beach, FL but they are in a need of clean-up, then keep reading below for the exact products and methods to try to clean them.

How to Remove Stains from Sheepskin Boots

Before doing a general cleaning, check your boots for stains.

Remove Dirt Stains

If you have concentrated scuffs or dirt stains, there are a few methods worth trying for removal.

TAPE – Grab some painters tape first (it’s gentler than packing tape) and press it over the scuff mark. Really dig your nail in there to make sure the tape grabs ahold of all of the dirt, then lift the tape from your boot. Works like magic!

SUEDE BRUSH – If tape wasn’t enough, grab a suede brush. Brush the scuffed area to loosen the dirt. You might want to follow this step up with another piece of tape to fully remove the dirt stain!

ERASER – Matted stains can be loosened with a pencil eraser. Gently rub the eraser against the matted stain on your boot until it has regained its original texture.

Remove Oil and Grease Stains from Sheepskin Boots

When it comes to oil stains of any kind, you want to act as quickly as possible to increase your odds of fully removing the oil stain. Oil stains on clothes and on sheepskin boots are treated very similarly. You want to start by soaking up the stain with a fine, powdered substance.

CHALK: If you have white chalk at your house (or school), grab a stick and color over the oil stain on your sheepskin boots. Let this sit for several hours, then grab a suede brush and gently brush away the excess chalk dust. You will be left with a light colored spot where the chalk mark was left, but that will come out completely after you clean your sheepskin boots.

CORNSTARCH: Don’t have a stick of chalk on hand? No problem, grab some cornstarch and pile it over the oil stain. Leave this overnight and the next day gently brush away any excess powder with a suede brush. Any lingering white color from the powder will be washed away after you learn how to clean sheepskin boots below.

Remove Water Stains from Sheepskin Boots

If your boots are showing water damage from being worn in the rain or snow, it’s easy to remove. Grab the other sheepskin boot and rub it against the water stain. Suede on suede will loosen and remove water stains!

What Does Sustainable Fashion Really Mean?

Image
Sustainable fashion is a hot topic right now. Not just because the   eco-friendly materials   used are much better for the planet, but because that tends to go hand-in-hand with   better treatment of people making the clothes , too. Not to mention better treatment of animals. But what does sustainable fashion really mean? What Is the Definition of Sustainable Fashion? At its most basic, the word “sustainable” means something can be maintained at its current rate or level. It can be applied to business: Can a company keep going while earning the same amount of money? It can be applied to the way you’re living your life. You’ve probably been admonished at least once by a well-meaning friend about your packed schedule, poor sleeping habits, or workload. “You just can’t keep going like this. It’s not sustainable.”  The same could be said for how we’re treating the planet, and how we make our fashion. We can’t keep going like this. It’s not sustainable.  We’re pullin...

Fast Fashion and Your Carbon Footprint

Image
    Many of us are aware of the Rana plaza collapse in 2013 that killed nearly 1,134 people. The collapse brought the working conditions in ‘fast fashion’ factories to the attention of the global media. The wages and working conditions for the people making our clothes are some of the biggest motivating factors to shop more ethically. However, another important ethical issue we need to consider is the environmental impact of our garments. We need to consider our carbon footprint. Contributors to the Fashion Carbon Footprint When we think about our carbon footprint we often think about cars, the air miles we clock up, and our household recycling. But what we choose to wear is one of the biggest impact factors on the environment and the fashion industry is one of the largest polluters in the world. Fashion is complicated. There are long and varied supply chains of raw material, production, manufacturing, shipping, and retail just to get your clothes to you. There is massive vari...
