*Washing
instructions apply to the Green Medical sheepskin
product only. Please contact us regarding washing
instructions for the Natural Medical sheepskin products.
For Medical sheepskin products, the sheepskin is
disinfected by washing at the elevated temperature.
Unlike infectious wash material in hospitals, the
cleaning agent used for chrome tanned medical sheepskins
MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY ENZYMES, ALKALI, PHOSPHATE,
PEROXIDES OR BLEACHES - these elements cause rapid
and irreversible damage, shrinkage and hardening
of chrome tanned leathers.
