Faux Fur Rugs & Cow hides: The Ultimate Guide to Choosing, Placing, and Cleaning Your Faux Fur and Faux Sheepskin Rugs
Also known as synthetic fur, faux fur or rugs have quickly become all the rage. These are made from synthetic materials such as acrylic, polyester, or modacrylic fibres, which means no animals are harmed in their construction. It is why faux furs are popular with people who love animals or work in animal welfare.

Best Rooms for Faux Fur Placement
Use these tips for optimal fax rug placement:
Add It to a Bland Space
Most interior designers add faux furs to neat and bland décor to add some texture and make the space look more inviting. Some faux fur has a luscious texture that can elevate a neat space.
Add It to a Window Nook
Who says that rugs are just meant for floors? A small faux rug will provide a cosy sitting place in a window reading nook. Choose pristine white or subtle pastels for a peaceful ambience.
Place It in Your Living Room
Lounge comfortably on a plush faux rug in your living room with friends, and time will fly by. The rug will add a luxurious charm to the space, which it may need if the décor is simple.
How to Clean a Faux Sheepskin Rug
Like any rug, your faux fur will also experience foot traffic which means it will get filthy with time. Here are some ways it should be cleaned:
Dry Cleaning
Dry cleaning is an efficient and damage-free way to get faux fur sheepskin rugs pristine again. The process is gentle on the fibres. If you just want to remove odours, baking soda may help. But it would be better to get the rug professionally dry cleaned if it is worse for wear.
Washing Machine
If the sheepskin faux fur is machine washable, you can toss it in there. But make sure you use a gentle cycle and mild detergent and avoid bleach and fabric softeners. These can deteriorate the fibres.
Hand Washing
Hand washing is ideal for faux furs that are on the delicate side. A large basin with cold water and mild detergent is a good soaking option. Agitate the rug in the water and rinse with clean water to get the soap out. Air dry after and ensure it is moisture-free before you place it back again. Otherwise, the rug may develop mould or mildew. Do not use direct sunlight or heat sources to dry.
