How to Clean a Cowhide Rug: Easy Maintenance Tips

Learning how to clean a cowhide rug is simpler than you might think, and usually, a combination of vacuuming along with a mild soap and water solution is all that's needed to keep it looking pristine.

• Steam cleaning is also an option for getting stains out of your rug, as long as you use a small amount of water on towel. You definitely don’t want to let the cowhides get soaking wet, since it can ruin them.
• Using a brush is another viable option for cleaning the rugs, as it eliminates the dust and dirt. Be sure to brush accordingly to the growth of the hair for best results.
• If you find that a brush alone isn’t getting the job done, then use carpet cleaner. Apply it on the desired area of the cowhide carpet and then scrub the area with a sponge and allow it to sit and dry – this may take around 10 minutes. Once the area is completely dry, use the brush to smooth out the hair.
• Just in case you spill any liquid on the cowhide, immediately wipe it with a wet cloth.
• If you’re in an extremely humid area, you will definitely want to let the hide lie out in the sun once or twice a month.

We offer a wide selection of cowhide rugs that are not only are dazzling to look at, they're also very easy to clean and care for. Applying soap and water onto the cowhide and gently scrubbing with a sponge is usually all that is needed to keep your large cowhide rug looking brand spanking new. We also recommend a periodic vacuuming. Steam cleaning is also an effective option to keep your cowhide rugs spotless – just make sure you don’t let the cowhide leather get too moist.

Using a brush is a great way to remove dust and dirt particles from your rug. Remember to brush according to the growth of the hair for optimum results.

If you need to try something a little bit stronger, apply some our cowhide shampoo on the soiled area of your brown cowhide rug. Use a sponge to brush the stains out and let the rug lie there for 10 minutes.

Once the area is completely dry, use the brush to smooth out the hair. At this point, the fur should have its natural shine restored, giving it a sleek, brand-new look.

What is a cowhide rug?

A cowhide rug is a complete piece of cow's skin, a byproduct ethically sourced from the meat industry. Each of our cowhide rugs retains the natural hair, with the underside being genuine leather. All our cowhides undergo a professional tanning process to ensure they are exceptionally soft, with a suede-like finish. They are naturally non-slip and do not require additional rug padding, making them both practical and stylish additions to any space. 

How can I select quality cowhides?

When selecting quality cowhides, pay attention to factors like thickness, softness, and natural markings. Look for hides that are hand-selected and have undergone proper tanning processes.

How to keep cowhide rug from curling?

Cowhide rugs may curl for several reasons. Primarily, changes in humidity and temperature can cause the leather to expand and contract, leading to curling at the edges. Additionally, the natural drying process of the leather can cause it to stiffen and curl if not properly treated or if it's overly dried out. Frequent foot traffic can also bend the edges, encouraging them to curl. Proper maintenance and care, such as keeping the rug flat and using underlays, can mitigate these issues and help maintain its shape.

How to get wrinkles out of cowhide rug?

Gentle wrinkles in a cowhide rug typically smooth out over time. For moderate wrinkles, placing heavy furniture or another rug on top can help by applying weight and allowing foot traffic to naturally flatten the rug. For more severe wrinkles, you can place a damp towel on the backside of the cowhide and gently iron over it to help the fibers relax and lay flat.

Can I customize my cowhide?

Yes! We offer customization options for cowhides. You can choose from various sizes, shapes, colors, and patterns to match your specific preferences and interior design style. Contact us to request custom designs or alterations for a truly unique piece.

Why are genuine cowhides unique and different from one another?

A genuine cowhide rug is crafted from the skin of a cow, meaning each rug is distinctly unique. Variations in skin tone, color patterns, skin texture, and hair texture ensure that no two cowhide rugs are the same, making each one a unique piece of natural art for your home.

How to clean a cowhide rug?

To care for your cowhide rug, regularly vacuum it on a low setting or shake it outside to remove dust and debris.

How to store a cow skin rug?

Clean and Dry: Ensure the rug is clean and completely dry before storing it. Vacuum it to remove any dust or debris.

Roll It: Never fold a cowhide rug, as this can create creases. Instead, roll it up with the hair side facing outward. Rolling prevents the rug from developing permanent wrinkles.

Protection: To protect the rug from dust, insects, and moisture, wrap it in a breathable material like muslin or a cotton sheet. Avoid using plastic, as it can trap moisture.

Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Choose a cool, dry storage location. Humidity can damage the hide and encourage mold growth, so avoid damp areas like basements or attics.

Check Periodically: Periodically inspect the rug, especially if it's in storage for an extended period. Ensure it remains clean and dry, and address any issues promptly.

Where are these cowhides coming from?

Our genuine cowhide rugs for sale originate in Brazil, Argentina and Columbia. Due to its weather and abundance of agriculturally-friendly farmlands, South America is the apex of cowhide production and that’s where we find our selection.

Do your cows serve purposes beyond providing hides?

Our cowhides come from animals that serve various purposes, from providing food and clothing to unique applications like vitamin coating. None of our animals are used solely for their hides, ensuring a sustainable and ethical sourcing approach.

Why is it important to use cowhides with shorter hair for laser engraving technology?

For laser engraving technology, smooth, light-colored cowhide rugs with shorter hair are ideal. These hides provide a clean and even surface that allows for clearer and more precise engravings. Darker cowhides can also be used, but the engraving results might not be as visible. It’s crucial to use cowhides with short hair because the laser can burn off thicker, longer hair, which prevents it from properly engraving the actual skin underneath.

How large can the letters or graphics be that you engrave?

Currently, for optimal results, RODEO can engrave letter sizes of 1x1 inches or graphics (such as logos) up to 2x2 inches, which is perfect for subtle messages, initials, or company logos.
