Hi Jennifer – Has the leather been tanned (which method)? Raw or tanned will
affect which cleaning method you should use.

   We have a Navajo-Churro (sheepskin) fleece that is used in our elementary
outreach program.  It is a full pelt, and it is very dirty.  I was wondering
if any of you could suggest a cleaning method that would be safe for both
the leather and wool.  
 Thank you,
Jennifer Hadley
