羊皮毯是再常见不过的居家装饰，它柔软、蓬松，无论是放在坐具还是地板上，都给人温暖的感觉，并给家里带来北欧风格的慵懒精致。
Sheepskin rugs are common decorations in many homes. They are soft, fluffy, and always bring you warmth and an elegant Scandinavian touch, no matter placed on the seats or on the floor.
用的时间久了上面的毛毛就会打结、变塌，沾上各式毛球头发，颜值塌方。官方的说明书写的办法是手洗，呃，烦透了有没有。
When you use the sheepskin for long, it’s fur/wool whatever you call it, will tangle up, and become flat. All kinds of lints and dirts will also attach to the wool fabric. Not pretty! The official cleaning instruction, as you may have noticed, is hand wash. Meh, what a hassle.
我们家有2张这个羊皮毯快5年了，每年夏天把毯子收起来之前我都要给羊做个清洁。用到的工具其实简单得不能再简单！就是 — —
We’ve had these rugs for almost five years by now. Every year, before the summer comes, I clean the rugs and then put them away. The tool I use cannot be any simpler! Which is…
Haha! A comb! 是个梳子啦^_^
Just any cheap plastic or wood comb you have, from the hotel, the airplane, doesn’t matter. Don’t use expensive ones in case the tangled fur breaks your comb. Now push the comb into the fur, and brush down in the fur’s growing direction. Try to detangle it using the tip of the comb.
随便找个便宜的塑料或者木头梳子，酒店和飞机上那种就行。不要用太贵的，免得打结的毛把梳子搞坏。梳子梳进毛里，顺着生长的方向梳下去，用梳子尖部梳通打结的部分。
打结的毛毛和脏东西就都被梳下来啦！
Some not so nice tangled fur and dirt are combed off!
梳到一半，也就和撸猫差不多爽吧。
Halfway through. So soothing, just like brushing your pet.
下面就是你即将达成的成就～
Now here’s what you will accomplish in the end.
WOW~! The comb does do magic!
哇塞，简直是魔法梳子。
下面是战利品👇 Below is your prize.
哦别忘了，侧面也梳一下。Oh, don’t forget to brush the sides.
So fluffy! 好蓬松！
以上就是治愈全过程。卷起，包好，收纳，感谢有羊陪伴的又一年。如果家里潮湿可以扔一个樟脑球进去防虫。如果毯子真的很脏有明显的污渍，也应该可以用羊毛干洗剂一起梳，我还没试过。
That’s the complete healing process. Roll it up, put it in bags and store in your closets. Another thankful year with the company of the sheep. If your house is really humid, store it together with some ceder wood balls. If your rug is badly stained, you may also try some dry cleaning product for wool while combing, which I haven’t tried yet.
Voilà!
完成！
