Everything You Need to Know About Cowhide Rugs

Rugs are an excellent addition to any room, from the living room to the bedroom. Cowhide rugs are the ideal choice for any room, according to us. And whether you've had your heart set on one for a while or only considered purchasing one, you've come to the right place. Do not worry if you have never heard of a cowhide rug! As the title suggests, this is the Ultimate Cowhide Rug Buying Guide.

What's a Cowhide Rug?

Answering this question is probably the first step! A cowhide is, quite simply, the hide of a cow. A cow's skin and hair are removed and then expertly treated to preserve them.

It is estimated that cowhides are the oldest item in the world of interior design! They adorned the walls and floors of cavemen's homes thousands of years ago, and they didn't just look fabulous on a caveman's bed but kept him and his family warm, too!

How Durable Are Cowhide Rugs?

To choose a carpet, perhaps one of the main factors is the durability of that carpet. You may have seen cowhide rugs many times in stores, galleries and websites, and you want to have one in your home but don't have any idea about its durability.

In truth, it depends on the type and level of care you take. A genuine cowhide rug can last up to ten years or more with proper care and maintenance. Also, they don't require special maintenance and look old. However, you should avoid using them on concrete floors. Cow rugs are best for home use, so ensure they're protected from moisture and avoid direct contact with bare flooring.

How to Clean a Cowhide Rug

It may seem that such a carpet needs a lot of complicated care, but it is not like that at all! It's hard to believe, but cowhide rugs are one of the easiest types of rugs to care for.

To remove dust, dirt, dander, pollen, and hair from cowhide rugs, you can shake, brush, or vacuum them.

Cowhide doesn't require much when removing stains from food or drink spills, pet accidents, and tracked-in dirt or mud. It is naturally stain-resistant, unlike other types of rugs. Most stains can be removed with just water. For set-in stains, a small amount of baby shampoo or clarifying shampoo is typically all it takes to remove the offending substance. It is also possible to clean cowhide with other mild soaps, such as foaming hand soap or liquid castile soap.

Vacuuming a Cowhide Rug

The best way to maintain a cowhide rug is to vacuum it regularly to remove dirt, dust, pollen, and dander. But be careful only to use the vacuum's suction function when vacuuming a cowhide rug. Cowhide should not be used with attachments that have rotating brushes or beaters, as they can cause hair loss.

If your vacuum doesn't have a head without a beater brush, a nozzle or upholstery attachment can safely vacuum a cowhide rug. When vacuuming a cowhide rug, move toward the hair growth.

Do Cowhide Rugs Smell?

A common misconception about cowhide rugs is that they may smell like cows! Don't worry, cow rugs do not smell, or if they do, they smell like leather.

Dogs and cats will treat this rug just like any other rug in the house, so don't worry about them chewing or marking on your cowhide rug.

Are Cows Killed to Make Cowhide Rugs?

Some people think that using these carpets is cruel because cows are killed to produce them. Well, this thought is wrong. In fact, cow rug producers use the skin of cows that have died before for meat or due to natural factors. Reputable companies producing cowhide rugs do not kill any cows for this purpose.

Of course, if you're vegan or vegetarian you'll want to avoid animal hides altogether, but cowhide rugs are perfectly acceptable even if you eat beef or wear leather.

Does Cow Rug Have Toxic Chemicals?

Cowhide carpets go through various stages for production, one of which is tanning. During this process, all the toxins on the skin are completely destroyed, and these carpets will be entirely safe for use in the home environment. So there is no need to worry about this. It can be said that cowhide rugs are like leather. They are natural and do not pose a health risk.

What's the Best Color for Cowhide Rug?

There are many factors to consider when choosing the right color for your cowhide rug, and it is entirely up to you.

The first thing you need to consider is where the rug will go. For example, what looks fabulous in a living room might look less in the kitchen, and vice versa.

Different colors can give off different vibes. It's not just about whether your rug will match your furniture or existing color scheme but whether it'll match the room's energy.

Black and White Cowhide Rugs

Among the different colors and designs of these carpets, the black and white cowhide rug is one of the most popular. If you want to have a luxury home, spreading a black and white cowhide rug and possibly an Iranian rug in the living room is the key to your success.

Although these carpets are also used in modern and simpler styles, if you have a modern house, don't worry, they are also suitable for you.

Brown and White Cowhide Rugs

This is the quintessential cowhide rug and is also known as a Hereford rug. They're timelessly chic and can transform a room into a warm or cool space.

This is because of the contrast between the rug's brown and white parts. With its reddish-brown tones, your rug will give off a warmer feeling, while its white tones can give off a cooler feeling and make a room seem larger.

In this article, we tried to answer your questions about cowhide rugs as much as possible and give you a general and correct view for choosing them. We hope that reading this cowhide rug guide has been helpful to you. You can share your questions with us in the comment section.
