How To Clean Your Faux Sheepskin Rug

By Joyce Howard


When you have a home, you want it to be as clean ever. This is why most people have come to realize that Faux is one of the best materials you can use in your house for the fluffiness of the material makes the house stand out. This material can be used as a runner on the chairs and on the bed. The only thing you have to know about Faux Sheepskin Rug is that it is hard to clean. Make sure you maintain it for if not so it starts to tuft and can be damaged.

If you will have your mat in good shape and looking stunning and not toss it away, you ought to take your time and clean it well. That is the only way the quality of the rug can be maintained, and there is no shortcut. You can choose to clean the mat on your own but if you do not have an idea of the best methods of doing the cleaning you will only have a mess at the end.

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 all the particles have all been removed the next step is washing the product. The washing should be done by use of cold water, and not make the mistake of using any strong detergents or bleaches. For most of these faux rugs, it is recommended that you use very mild products since the chemicals will react with it and destroy it ultimately.

To those people who use the machine to wash their clothes, you can also use it to clean your mat. Read the instructions on the material to ensure that you do the right thing. Before you place the rug in the washer, you should turn it inside out to prevent the tear and wear. Activate the washer after you have gently placed the rug in it and put on the right washing settings.

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.

When it has stayed there for some time, you should check if the runner is dry. If not so you have to give it some more time. When you realize that it is dry, you have to be prepared to brush it. You should use a soft brush to clean the mat and you should know that the mat is bound to shed. But do not worry for it is normal.

Cleaning of the faux sheepskin mat might seem like a lot of work, and the truth is that it is. At the same time, you have to be careful with the types of detergents that you use. However, when the rug is clean and dry, you will find that it was worth the effort.
