You’ve just bought your cow hide rug or cow hide accessory and you want to keep it in pristine condition so it will look like new for many years to come. So how do you go about taking care of this wonderful home accessory? It’s very easy and in this short blog post I’ll tell you how.

First and foremost it’s very important to keep it clean and regular vacuuming once a week and remove outdoor shoes indoors will prevent any major gritty contaminants from smearing and damaging the rug pelt and fibres.
If it becomes necessary to wash it (pets seem to love them !) then first vacuum it and use a hard bristled brush to gently foam in a mild detergent such as Lux – clean with the grain of the first and ensure the sop gets deep into the body of the rug.
Once you’ve finished putting on the soap then use clean water to sponge the soap from the fur along with any embedded dirt. Once you’ve removed all the soap then hang the rug up to dry – preferably out of doors in the sun for final natural sunlight disinfection.
Simples!
