Beautiful black sheepskin rugs, these are a deep coloured sheep, really rich and thick. These would go in any room perfectly. They’re a natural product so they will vary minimally from one to another. Each rug is quality checked before shipping to ensure customer satisfaction. Keeping it Fresh For general maintenance try to get into the habit of giving your rug a good shake and brush every so often. Taking it outside for a hard shake will dislodge any dust and dirt that has built up in the fibers. After a while, you may notice that your rug is looking a little less lush and fluffy than it once did because it has become matted over time. Solving this is simple, give the rug an occasional brush and the fur should stay in good condition. A specialty hide brush is the best thing to us for this, they are reasonably cheap and a must have investment if you want to make the most of any sheepskin product. Spot Cleaning Accidents will always happen and the best thing you can do is be prepared. If something is spilled on your rug, having the right products around means that you’ll be able to strike quickly before a stain has the chance to set in. Immediately after a spill, blot the area with a clean dry cloth. If this doesn’t work take a damp cloth with some sheepskin detergent and gently scrub the area in the direction of the fur. This method should remove most minor stains. Being prepared here really is the most important thing. A specialist sheepskin detergent is the only product that will remove a stain while still protecting your rug. They will be gentle so as not to do any damage and may contain ingredients such as lanolin (a fat naturally found in wool) that will restore the natural softness of your rug. Drying Always leave your rug to dry naturally, away from direct sources of heat. If your rug is wet the best thing to do is stretch it out on a flat surface and leave it there. Do not use heat such as a hairdryer or radiator and don’t even leave it in the sun. Too much heat on a wet sheepskin can cause the leather underside to harden, shrink or warp. The best to avoid this is to not get it too wet in the first place! If you care for your sheepskin rug, it should stay in beautiful condition for years. If you love it, it will love you back!
