5 Tips To Keep Your Hide Rug Looking Fresh And Fab For Years To Come
Practicality is at the heart of The Cinnamon Room’s brand ethos. No matter how luxurious or stunning a piece is, if it’s coming into your home, it must meet our high standards for durability.
We want our hide rugs to enhance your home and be the backdrop for a fully-lived life that includes eating, drinking, spilling, dancing, and playing without worrying about maintenance.
With that in mind, here are 5 ways to keep your rug looking fresh and fabulous for many years to come.
- It’s easy. We are dead serious when we tell you that any spill can be simply wiped away with a damp cloth. Yes, even red wine, coffee, curry, or mud. These are all-natural ox and cow hides. Think about it: if you spill red wine on your dog, your dog isn’t stained. You just wipe it off and move on. See the video to watch Visha wipe away a fresh red wine spill.
- Less is more! No cleaning agents please — in fact the only thing that might discolour a Cinnamon Room hide rug is a harsh chemical cleaning solution. Please just keep it simple, and remind everyone in the house that a little spill is no reason to rush for the cleaning supplies.
- Vacuums work a treat. Remember these hide rugs are lightweight and low-pile so you don’t need a powerful suction. In fact, the job is done in seconds as any dust and debris just sits on the surface.
- A word on robots: Robots and cows aren’t a logical pairing, so it holds that our rugs don’t love a ton of robot action. Due to its low pile, a robot can impact the edges of the rug with increased friction. To play it safe, simply change your robot’s settings to avoid your hide rug and you are good to go.
- Speaking of friction, let’s use the dog comparison again: You know how sometimes a tight collar will cause a dog’s fur to be less full and healthy in the area where the collar rubs? Same principle applies when repeatedly dragging heavy furniture across your hide rug. It’s an easily-addressed issue though: we suggest you place those handy silicon caps on the legs of any pointy or heavy chairs that will be regularly dragged across the area so it glides across rather than digging into the hide.
That’s all there is to it! If you are ready to upgrade your flooring to the luxurious looking but uber practical hide rug, then browse the full selection of these miraculously easy to maintain rugs here. And always feel free drop us a line with any care and cleaning concerns.
