The rugs require regular cleaning with a vacuum cleaner. Cowhide can be wiped with a damp (not wet) cloth in the direction of the hair, but it should never be washed in a washing machine.

The right maintenance will make sure that your beautiful carpet will be as good as new for many years. A cowhide leather rug can be a wonderful decoration in the interior design and add a stylish and sophisticated accent. For the followers of the "green" movement, stores offer imitation skins so they can take advantage of that without any worries for the population of animal species.
