how to wash a fur rug

A rug is an essential part of any living room, and the choice of rug is a fine balance between form and function. You want something that enhances your living room’s style and ambiance while still maintaining an icy cold floor in the winter.

A fur rug is the ultimate in luxury and warmth; it provides both. A traditional method of making a fur rug is to start with a velvet or cotton rug and then cover it with fur. The fur layer is called the pile and the base layer is called the pad. There are two basic ways to wash a fur rug: using a traditional rug shampoo or a sea salt spray. Here are the things you need to know.

Traditional Shampoo

The first and most traditional method of washing a fur rug is with a rug shampoo. These shampoos are available in a wide array of textures and styles and work great for most rugs including acrylic, wool, and silk rugs. Look for a shampoo that contains an ingredient called L-Ascorbic Acid.

This is a more stable source of nutrients, which will leave your skin looking healthier and more vibrant. Besides containing an environmentally-sound source of nutrients (compared to most shampoos) it also uses more practical skincare ingredients.

These are proven to fight the effects of aging and remove years of damage from your complexion. The combination of these potent ingredients put Mad Hippie’s shampoo at the top of its class.

Sea Salt Spray

If you live by the sea or have a beach house nearby, you can bring the salty air in with you by applying a sea salt spray to your face. These sprays are a great way to add a little pizazz to your bathroom, and let your fancy French doors open up to the beach. Just make sure you don’t hold it too close to the glass and let settle for a minute or two before laying down on the bathroom floor.

Spray your hands first, as this will help prevent stings from chipping your teeth from the cold liquid. After you’ve washed your hands, apply the salt spray to your face or other areas you feel needs the benefits of this magical liquid. The spray is not meant to replace your regular facial soap, but rather to be an additional layer of protection on certain areas of your face or other areas you feel needs the benefits of this spray. Be careful not to hold it too near to the glass when applying it to the face, and let settle for a minute or two before laying down on the floor.

The sea salt spray can also be used as a final step in your routine before bedtime. Just take a quick minute or two to lay down on a towel, spray your face and neck, and then fall asleep in front of the TV with a big smile.

Traditional shampoo and sea salt spray are the two most popular methods of washing fur rugs. The choice between the two depends on personal preference, with some people finding advantages to both. If you have a luxury rug that you want to keep free of stains for years to come, then make sure you opt for the traditional method of washing your fur rug.

Tip For Men With Large Rugs

If you have a larger rug, you may find it difficult to wash it using only your hands. A traditional way of washing larger rugs is to use a hand-crank washing machine. These washing machines are available in large or extra-large sizes and can handle practically any rug size. Just make sure you don’t overload the machine, and remember to remove the dirt from the bottom of the rug first before laying it down on the washer.

If you need a break from the washing machine, you can always use a traditional rug shampoo or sea salt spray. Just make sure you don’t hold it too near to the glass when applying it to the face, and let settle for a minute or two before laying down on the bathroom floor.

Don’t Forget The Neck

Fur rugs can still catch colds if they’re not washed frequently enough, so it’s important to wash your neck as well as the rest of your fur rug every day. A healthy, shiny neck is a happy neck, which will make you look and feel your best. A traditional way of washing your neck is to use a natural oil, like coconut or almond oil, but you can use any oil you like. Just make sure you don’t hold it too near to the glass when applying it to your face, and let settle for a minute or two before laying down on the bathroom floor.

Check The Pads

Fur rugs need to be thick to store heat well, so make sure you check for any imperfections or dirt on the pads first. A traditional way of ensuring a smooth surface on your fur rug is to use a non-woven fabric brush on the area around the base, gently brushing the rug to make it look brand-new. Make sure you don’t hold it too near to the glass when applying it to the face, and let settle for a minute or two before laying down on the bathroom floor.

Use Your Hands

If you have a smaller rug you want to wash, you can use your hands to remove the dirt from the base then wipe down the area with a dry cloth. There are a variety of hand sanitiser products out there that can make dirty hands feel fresh and clean, or you can use plain old soap and water if you prefer a non-drying hand wash.

The key to washing a fur rug is consistency. You must continue to wash it every day for best results. If you wash it every other day, you’ll never get the look you desire. So be sure to wash it every day no matter what, making sure to remove all the dirt and grime that accumulates over time. You can also use a sea salt spray on the daily to keep it looking brand new.
