1. How do I remove the sheepy smell from sheepskin rugs or woolskin?
The sheepy smell comes from excess lanolin oils naturally present in sheepskin. To remove it completely, start with Sheepskin Wool Degreaser 5.6, rinse with Sheepskin Wool Rinse 4.0, and then apply Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5. This system neutralizes the odor at the source for lasting freshness.
2. Can I use Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5 on UGG boots and shearling jackets?
Yes! Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5 is wool-safe and suitable for UGG boots, shearling coats, jackets, gloves, seat covers, and upholstery. Always test in a hidden area first and follow the spray, blot, air-dry, groom instructions for best results.
3. Will this product damage my sheepskin or suede?
No. Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5 is carefully balanced at pH 4.5, the same pH that keeps wool and suede fibers soft and healthy. It neutralizes odors without harsh chemicals, unlike many general-purpose odor sprays that can cause drying or stiffening.
4. Can Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5 remove urine odors?
Urine odors require a two-step approach. First, clean with Leather Urine Cleaner 1.5 to remove the contamination. Then, apply Leather Urine Odor Killer 2.1 followed by Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5 for complete odor removal and wool-safe freshness.
5. How do I remove musty or moldy odors from stored sheepskin rugs?
Use Leather Mold Cleaner 1.5 to safely clean away mold, then treat with Leather Mold Odor Killer 3.6. Finish with Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5 to neutralize any lingering musty smell. This prevents reoccurrence and keeps the wool fresh.
6. Can Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5 sanitize my sheepskin?
Yes — for light sanitizing, pair with Leather Sanitizer 3.9. For stronger bacterial or decaying odors, use Leather Disinfectant 3.7 first, then follow with Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5 for complete odor control.
7. What’s the difference between deodorizing and masking odors?
Deodorizing means neutralizing the source of the odor so it no longer exists. Masking only covers it up with fragrance. Leather Doctor® offers both:
-
Sheepskin Wool Deodorizer 4.5 – neutralizes odors permanently.
-
Sheepskin Wool Conditioner S Plus & Suede Scent Fatliquor 5.0 Plus – mask minor odors with a classic leather scent while conditioning wool and suede for a luxurious feel.
