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.

If you do not want to end up with a mat that is ugly, or throwing away this beautiful piece, you need to make sure that you have taken the time to clean it up. This is the only way you can be guaranteed you will be able to maintain the quality of the mat. You might decide to do the cleaning, but if you do not know the best way to do it, then you will end up with a mess.

Depending on the place on which you place the mat, there are different procedures in which you can use to clean it. The first thing to do is to take off the mat and shake it. If you use the mat on the floor, you will have better do the shaking outside. This will help keep all your furniture from getting dirty. If you find out that the mat has many particles, you should consider beating it to help remove the articles easily.

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.

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 the washing is over and one with, place the rug on a drying rack and let it stay there for almost a week. This is because the rug takes a while to dry completely. After it has been washed, it appears as matted wool spires. This should not be a cause for alarm as after drying the rug will regain its original fluffy nature.

If the runner is not dry at the end of the week, do not be in a hurry but let it dry on its own. After it has dried out completely, start brushing it. The brushing should be done is short strokes. A wire brush is best suited to perform this task well. The dog brush, on the other hand, is responsible for restoring the fluffy nature and breaking up the mat. With this procedure, there will be less shedding of the mat.

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.
