No, air dry with a cool blower or out on the line

As Ian says air dry.

Some times sheepskin rugs just need a bloody good vac then a low moisture clean with a micro splitter is suffice.

I think I have the wrong idea here. Are we talking about a pelt or something else, as I'm thinking it would be like when a chammy (sp?) dries out if you put it in the wash.

Mike its supposed to be dry unlike a chamois (sp) which you should keep moist to enable it to do its job.
