Cowhide Rugs vs. Other Floor Coverings: Comparing Materials and Choosing the Right Option

 A Cow Hides Rugs is not just a functional floor covering but also a beautiful statement piece for any room. Each hide is uniquely one-of-a-kind due to natural variations in size, color, and pattern. They can easily be layered over other rugs like sisal or jute but also work perfectly on their own and add texture to a space. They can even be used as wall hangings or draped across the back of a sofa or chair.

Versatile rugs can be used in many different ways

These versatile rugs can be used in many different ways and are incredibly easy to care for. Regular light vacuuming with a brush attachment or a dustbuster will remove most dirt, grit, and other particles. Using a mild detergent and warm water with a cloth or sponge to scrub the rug can also be effective. If there are grease stains on the rug, simply rub with eucalyptus oil to break up the stain and then wash the area.



 Good tip is to hang the rug in a dark, cool, dry place

Another good tip is to hang the rug in a dark, cool, dry place where it will not get exposed to excessive sunlight or heat as this will cause the hair to curl up. Leaving it in the sun for long periods of time will make this happen very quickly and the rug can become very brittle or even rot if this occurs.

To help prolong the life of the cowhide rug 

While the luster of the hair on the cow can vary from one hide to the next, it is important to keep in mind that the shine will fade as the rug is washed and used. The rug will still be very soft to the touch but it will not shine as brightly as before. To help prolong the life of the cowhide rug it is recommended that it be used as often as possible and not left in direct sunlight or on a high foot traffic area for long periods of time.

A carpet made of wool or synthetic materials

It is also important to note that Cow Hides Rugs  are hypoallergenic. There is a misconception that cowhide rugs will trap allergens and releasing them into the air but this is not true. Allergens are much more likely to be trapped in a carpet made of wool or synthetic materials.
