Product Overview
Wool Degreaser 5.6 is a pH 5.6 balanced, wool-safe, water-based degreaser formulated to remove traces of lanolin and greasy soiling from sheepskin, woolskin, shearling, hair-on hides, feathers, and taxidermy mounts.
Unlike conventional degreasers, it suspends grease without the need for harsh rinsing. Once emulsified, greasy residues are effectively extracted and then followed by a pH-balancing rinse with Sheepskin Wool Rinse 4.0—preventing reabsorption and avoiding sticky or yellowing residues that attract further soiling.
Mix 1 part Degreaser 5.6 with 40 parts distilled water (e.g.,
Inspect the item. Conduct a dry soil removal with vacuuming, brushing, or combing to eliminate loose particles before application.
Spray the diluted solution evenly across the affected area. Agitate gently with a wool brush, grooming comb, or slicker brush to distribute.
Allow to dwell for 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the severity of yellowing. Ensure the surface remains damp during dwell—do not let it dry.
Blot and extract suspended grease and soiling with a clean, dry, absorbent cotton or terry towel. Repeat until the towel comes up clean.
Spray Sheepskin Wool Rinse 4.0 evenly and wipe off with a fresh towel until the surface feels squeaky clean. This step neutralizes the pH and prevents residue reabsorption.
Groom with a brush or comb and let air dry naturally. Avoid heat drying.
Sheepskin Wool Conditioner S is sprayed evenly and brushed with a towel to pick up the soiling residue.
Once fully dried and slightly crispy, groom again to restore the natural loft and bloom of the wool for the best appearance, and it is ready for use.
