Cowhide Rugs
A cowhide rug is (usually) a tanned cowhide that
still has the hair on. They come in all sizes and shapes and you should
therefore look at any pictures of the rugs carefully. If the hide has been
tanned properly the hair on the rug will be soft to the touch and comfortable to
sit on or for bare feet to walk on.
Caring For Your Cowhide Rug
- To remove dust, dirt, etc. you can take your cowhide rug outside and
shake it or wipe it with a dry or damp (not wet) cloth. If your cowhide rug
has hair you can also brush it. If it has hair you should wipe or brush it
in the direction of the hair. You can also vacuum your cowhide rug when you
vacuum the rest of your rugs and carpeting.
- As with any rug, rotate your cowhide rug once in a while so that it
wears evenly.
About Cowhide Rugs On eBay
- Make sure the seller tells you if the rug is new or used.
- Make sure you know the size of the rug in exact measurements and take
into account the shape of the rug. Some cowhide rugs are fairly symmetrical
while others have pronounced points. If a rug has prominent points, and
it was measured from point-to-point, the main area of the rug may be smaller
than the measurements make it sound.
- Look closely at the rug to see if you like its shape. Each cowhide rug
will be very different in size and shape.
- These types of rugs can be heavy to ship so know where the cowhide rug is being shipped
from and what the cost of shipping will be.
- Many of the cowhide rug sellers on eBay - but not all - will accept
returns. If you are in doubt that the cowhide rug you are looking at is
right for you be sure you know whether or not the seller will accept returns
and what conditions must be met to make a return.
