One advantage to living in an old plank farm house is the large claw foot tub. We don't use it since we have a separate shower. It makes a perfect place for these impromptu projects. So, I ran a tub of warm water with mild shampoo. Dumped the whole bag and and carefully moved it around with my fingers. Even the suds were filthy. Let it sit for while to soak. Just imagine the smell of your wet dog. Now magnify this to the size of a wet llama. Yea.......
The fur has some debris in it. While carefully swishing it around in the water, pulled hay and larger pieces of grass. Hopefully, any remaining trash will be teased out at the picking stage. After carefully draining the tub, monitoring the drain as not to plug up the plumbing with fuzz, I ran more rinses, till...
...the water started to appear clearer. I was lucky in that this fleece only took 4 rinses/soaks.
Kids are laughing at me. Looks like a llama yakked a giant hair ball in our tub. I just told them not to make any sudden movements or noises.... It might attack... lol
Now, to let it dry so I can play with the picker.
