Dish or hand soaps work well for removing stains. If you have a stain remover, you can use that, too, by following the directions on its label. Don’t rub the stain with a towel as this will just spread the stain deeper into the fabric.
If you cannot wash the jacket without other articles of clothing or fabrics, try to wash similar fabric styles to sherpa (faux fur, shearling, etc. ) with the jacket instead of other fabric materials.
Check on the jacket every hour or so to see if it has dried or still needs a bit longer.
Never use an iron on sherpa. Doing so will damage the fabric and can cause it to fall out of the garment.
After you’ve accumulated a pile of pills, use a piece of tape to get the balls of pilling off of the jacket.
Rubbing will only cause the stain to set deeper into the fabric, making it harder to get out.
You should try to limit how often you wash a sherpa jacket to keep the material in good shape. If you only have a small stain to deal with, it’s best to spot-clean rather than wash the entire garment.
As with a washing machine, warm water can damage the fabric, so make sure the water is cool to the touch before you start to wash the jacket.
