How To Maintain And Clean Your Faux Sheepskin Rug

By Joyce Howard


The use of fake sheepskin has become popular. Most homes have this product in their house. The best part about the rug is that it can be used as a runner, on chairs and also beds. The fluffiness makes it hardly possible to resist. However, in as much as Faux Sheepskin Rug is ideal, it is hard to clean. If it is not well maintained, it starts to tuft and get dingy.

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 you commence your cleaning process, take the rug out and shake off most of the dust and other particles in it. If the carpet was used for the floor, then it is advisable that the shaking off be done outdoors. You do not want the dust particles settling on your furniture in the house. If the particles are many the other way of dealing with it is by beating it up.

When you are through with the beating, and all the particles are off, you should now plan on how to wash the mat. Avoid washing the mat in hot water and use hard detergents on it. Faux material is sensitive and can react with those chemicals, and so you should use cold water.

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.

After you are done with the washing, lay it across a drying rack and leave it there for about a week. This product takes a long time to dry. In fact, when washed it looks like spires of matted wool. This should not worry you, as the mat will get back to its original fluffy once 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.

Cleaning these mats is not a simple task at all. You should also take caution on the kinds of detergents you use when cleaning. After the rug is all fluffy and clean, you will enjoy the effort you put in the tiring cleaning process.
