How To Maintain And Clean Your Faux Sheepskin Rug

By Joyce Howard


Using sheepskin that is fake has gained popularity. There are lots of houses having these rugs. The good thing with this kind of rug is the fact that it can be used on beds, as runners, and on chairs. It is very hard for any person to resist the fluffy product. Nevertheless, in so far as the faux sheepskin rug is perfect, it is very tough to clean. When it does not get the right maintenance, it becomes dingy and begins tufting.

The only thing you can do to have a mat that will serve you for long without it getting ugly is to ensure that you clean it. This rug should be well maintained and often cleaned with the right cleaning materials. If you do not know of the best materials to use to clean the mat, then you will end up destroying the beautiful mat.

Before anything, you should take the rug and shake out as many particles as possible. If you were using it on the floor, then it is better that you do this outside. The last thing you want is getting the particles and dust all over your furniture. If it has too many particles, then you should think about beating it.

After you have gotten the particle out, the next thing that you should do is to wash the product. Use cold water as you do this, the mistake that most people make is using bleaches and hard detergent. When it comes to the faux, you should use a mild product as possible since this is a sensitive rug that will react to chemicals.

In case you want to use a machine in cleaning, make sure you read the tag well before immersing it inside the washer. The tag should help because it usually has vivid guidelines on managing the mat. To reduce the chances of wearing the rug, it should be turned inside out. Afterward, have the product gently placed on the machine as the other products. Later on turn the machine on and set the correct settings for this particular product.

If you have set on the correct settings on the machine, the mat will be clean in no time, and you should place it on a drying rack for it to dry. The material used for making this rug is thick and so it can take long for it to dry. This is why you should not be in a hurry after you have put it to dry. You will notice that the rug turns to look like spires of matted wool after washing, but it will get to its normal condition when it is dry.

After a week, confirm if the runner is dry, if not, then you will need to give it some time. Once it is completely dry, you need to start brushing the item. This should be done using short strokes. It is best that you get a wire brush for this procedure. A dog brush is the one that can be able to break up the mats and restore the fluffiness. Be ready to get minimal shedding.

With all that done, you will be able to get the results which are pleasing. Many consider this as tiresome, but the results are worth the time.
