Full details
This real cowhide rug is designed for individuals seeking to add a touch of rustic, western flair and natural charm to their interior decor. Its primary benefit is its ability to create a cozy and warm ambiance, acting as a versatile decorative piece. A key caveat is that each rug is unique due to natural variations in color, size, and potential scars, meaning the delivered item will not be identical to any pictured example.

FAQs
Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas?
While durable, cowhide rugs are best suited for areas with moderate to low foot traffic to maintain their appearance and longevity. High-traffic areas may lead to faster wear and tear.
Will my rug look exactly like the picture?
No, each cowhide rug is a natural product and therefore unique. Variations in color, size, pattern, and the presence of minor scars are natural and contribute to its individual character. The delivered rug will be similar but not identical to any example photos.
How do I clean a spill on the rug?
For fresh spills, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. For dried or tougher stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild, neutral soap. Always test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area first and avoid excessive moisture.
Can I use this rug outdoors?
This rug is designed for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture, sunlight, and dirt can damage the natural hide and alter its texture and color.
What is the warranty period for this rug?
Please refer to the specific warranty information provided by the retailer at the time of purchase, as warranty details can vary.
How should I store the rug if I need to move it temporarily?
If storing, roll the rug with the hair side inwards. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to prevent damage.
Can I use a robot vacuum on this rug?
It is generally not recommended to use robot vacuums, especially those with aggressive brushes, as they can damage the hide. Manual vacuuming with a low setting and no beater bar is preferred.
Troubleshooting
Rug has creases from shipping
Lay the rug flat in a warm room for several days. Gravity and ambient temperature will help the creases relax.
Initial natural odor
Ensure the room where the rug is placed is well-ventilated. The odor typically dissipates within a few days to a week.
Fading color
Avoid placing the rug in direct, prolonged sunlight. Relocate it to an area with indirect light or rotate its position periodically.
Stubborn dirt or stain
Gently blot the stain with a slightly damp cloth and a minimal amount of mild, pH-neutral soap. Always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Hair is lying flat or matted
Gently brush the hide in the direction of the hair growth with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner on a low setting without a beater bar.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unroll the rug carefully upon arrival. Allow it to lay flat in its intended location for a few days to help any natural creases from packaging relax. Due to its natural material, it may have an initial scent; ensure the room is well-ventilated during this period.
Compatibility:
This rug is compatible with most floor types, including hardwood, tile, and laminate. It can also be used on low-pile carpets. When used as a throw or wall hanging, ensure it is secured appropriately to prevent accidental falls.
Care:
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug on a low setting without a beater bar to remove dust and debris. Brush in the direction of the hair.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Deep Cleaning: Professional leather cleaning is recommended for thorough cleaning. Avoid machine washing or soaking.
- Sunlight: Keep the rug out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent fading and drying of the leather.
