How can I remove Feces Stains from Shearling?

Use a lint roller to pick up any excess feces first. Create a thick paste using equal parts baking soda and water and spread it over the stained area before blotting away with a cloth or paper towel. Rinse the stained area with cold water and a soft-bristled brush. Apply a solution of ¼ cup of vinegar mixed with 1 cup of water and let it sit for 30 minutes. Finally, toss it in the washing machine on a delicate cycle and hang to dry.

Can I use hot water to clean the stained area?

No, you should never use hot water when cleaning a shearling item as it can damage the fibers. Always use cold water when cleaning shearling apparel.
