Sherpa items are fun, cuddly, soft, and cozy. But what happens when they get dirty? The best thing for a few spots and stains is spot cleaning with dish soap directly onto the area. Pat with a clean paper towel, then rinse off with cool water. If you must wash the entire garment, wash in cool water (to avoid pilling) by hand or on delicate cycle in the washer. Do NOT use any detergent that contains a fragrance or dye as it may cause matting. If possible hang dry and avoid the dryer.
