Caring for Your Sheepskin Rug

Taking care of your sheepskin rug is essential to ensure its longevity and maintain its plush appearance. Here's how to do it:

  • Regular Shaking: Begin by giving your sheepskin rug a good shake outdoors. This helps remove loose dirt and dust.
  • Spot Cleaning: For small spills or stains on your sheepskin rug, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Gently blot the affected area and allow it to air dry.
  • Brushing: To keep the wool fibers soft and fluffy, use a sheepskin brush or a pet brush with soft bristles. Brush in the direction of the hair growth.
  • Avoid Excessive Moisture: Sheepskin rugs do not do well with excessive moisture. Avoid using hot water or steam cleaning, as it can cause the leather backing to become stiff or damaged.

FAQs for Sheepskin Rugs

How do I clean and care for a natural sheepskin rug?

Regularly shake the rug outside and gently brush the wool with a slicker brush to restore fluffiness. Spot clean spills immediately using a damp cloth, mild wool detergent, and cool water; avoid hot water, tumble drying, and vacuum beater bars.

What is the difference between genuine and faux sheepskin?

Genuine sheepskin is the natural hide of a sheep with wool fibers intact, offering natural plushness, insulation, and odour resistance. Faux sheepskin is made from synthetic materials like acrylic or polyester, often providing easier care and greater durability, though it may shed and create static electricity.

What size sheepskin rug should I choose for my room?

Use a single pelt (2'x3' or 3'x5') as a bedside accent or a chair throw. For larger areas, choose a multi-pelt rug made by joining multiple hides to create a larger area rug or runner.

Are sheepskin rugs suitable for homes with pets or children?

Genuine sheepskin is best for low to moderate traffic zones due to its delicate nature with heavy soiling. For active homes, a durable faux sheepskin may be preferable, or opt for genuine but commit to regular shaking, brushing, and prompt spot cleaning.

How can I tell if a sheepskin rug is authentic?

A real sheepskin rug will have a smooth, pliable, leather-like texture on the back. The wool will be firmly attached, have a natural variation in fiber length, and will not create static electricity, unlike faux alternatives.

Will my sheepskin rug fade or turn yellow over time?

Like all natural materials, sheepskin rugs can change color if placed in direct sunlight. Keep the rug out of direct sun and away from excessive heat sources to prevent fading, yellowing, and drying out of the leather backing.

Are sheepskin rugs an environmentally friendly and ethical choice?

Genuine sheepskins are a sustainable by-product of meat production, meaning no animals are killed specifically for the hides. Natural sheepskin is biodegradable, unlike synthetic faux rugs which are petroleum-based and contribute to microplastic pollution.
