Step 1: Pick Up Excess Feces
First, use a lint roller to pick up any excess feces that has not yet been absorbed into the shearling's fibers. Carefully run the lint roller over the stained area until all solid matter is removed.
Step 2: Create a Baking Soda Paste
Mix together equal parts baking soda and water to create a thick paste. Spread the paste over the stained area and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Blot Away Remaining Stain
Use a paper towel or cloth to blot away any remaining stain. Be sure to blot gently so as not to damage the fibers of the shearling.
Step 4: Rinse Stained Area
Rinse the stained area with cold water and a soft-bristled brush. Be sure to brush in one direction only to avoid further matting the fibers.
Step 5: Apply Vinegar Solution to Stained Area
Mix together ¼ cup of vinegar and 1 cup of cold water. Dab the solution on stained area using a soft cloth or paper towel. Let the solution sit for 30 minutes before blotting dry with a clean towel.
Step 6: Toss in the Washing Machine
Once all the feces stains have been removed, you can toss your shearling item in the washing machine on a delicate cycle using cold water. Hang to dry.
