 Leather rugs` care

 

Since leather and skin carpets are considered as luxurious and valuable goods in a house, they need to be properly taken care of. Follow the following steps to do so:

1- Do not lay them in high-traffic areas because it reduces its thickness and makes it thinner.

2- Do not lay them in or near moist and humid places because it brings serious harms to them in the long run and diminishes their longevity.

 3- Do not lay them under direct sunlight because it makes them peel and become dry and fragile, so they lose their beauty after a while.

4- Clean them on a weekly basis.

5- Shake them out once in a while to get the dust and fluffs out.

6- Brush them from time to time. Use a soft moist brush and scrub them gently to keep their texture even.

7- If the rugs are made of genuine leathers, they should be cleaned and taken care of properly when needed. Otherwise, bacteria and microbes will grow in the carpets and destroy them overtime.
