I have a King size sheepskin underlay. It would go in my machine. How best to wash it so it comes out fluffy again . It's all compacted down and a bit grubby!

It won't come up fluffy again, though you can clean it certainly. The only way to temporarily restore the fluffy pile is to comb it up, because your movement and heat and sweat have felted the wool fibres, and it isn't a process that is easily reversed - worse luck!

Wash like wool on a windy day, shake frequentlywhile drying, or finish it off in a drier( commercial if need be) for a short time on low settingto fluff up.
Or have it dry cleaned, about 30 $

Ohh sad It was so lovely - like sleeping on a cloud when I first got it . Might ring Woolrest and see what they say to do. Any instructions are long list!

I wash mine in the bath with wool wash, shake while drying and then vacuum it. Brings up the pile beautifully.

Wow ladies, you almost have me convinced, to stop combing! But the though of lugging a wet queen sized woolrest out onto the line puts me off - as do all those drycleaning chemicals. Still, maybe on a day when I feel extra muscley!

Don't wash the cheapish Briscoes ones - hang on the line on a windy day and it'll look like a sheep exploded in your back yard.
I don't buy the cheap ones any more.
