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.

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.

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.

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.
