Sheepskin Rugs â The Best Choice for High Traffic Areas by Frank Conn
From ancient times we have learnt that sheepskins have be used either to sleep on the floor because it is very comfortable and soft or as a cover, to protect themselves from cold. Today we find that the sheepskin which is the hide of a sheep is tanned with the fleece which is left on the skin, to make a number of products such as seat covers, slippers, boots, coats, vests, rugs, hats, gloves etc. The wooly side of the sheepskin is used to make sheepskin rugs of different sizes. If you want to add a touch of luxury and warmth on your floor, then a sheepskin rug is an excellent choice. They also feel very soft under your feet and is a perfect and safe place for your children to play, because wool rugs feel very soft on the childrenâsâ skin and they do not irritate the skin. It is light weight with thick and supportive fibers.
You can find rugs made from various types of materials available in the market today, but if you are looking out for a rug which really lasts long and quite easy to maintain and clean, then buy a sheepskin rug, because choosing wool rugs for your floor has various other benefits too. Wool is a non-flammable fiber, so sheepskin rugs can be safely used as it is fire resistant. Sheepskin rugs are perfect for more traffic areas, because the natural coil spring feature in wool keeps the rug looking fresh with less wear and tear, and it does not show the foot prints. Also, since wool is water repellent, you will not have to worry about your child spilling water on to the rug, because the rug will not absorb the water and it can be dabbed up. It is versatile and easy to dye that you can have a wide choice of colors to choose from apart from the natural color of black, white or gray. Sheepskin rugs can be used in any room and is a good choice especially for the childrenâs room because it reduces noise as it is an excellent insulation.
Sheepskin rug is the most popular choice for home dcor by most of the interior decorators, because not only it enhances the beauty of the room, but it can be used as a area rug, throw rug or a wall rug. Usually the size of a sheepskin rug is around 2 feet wide and four feet long, but if need you can sew two rugs together to make a larger rug, or maybe combine about ten rugs to make a jumbo rug to cover the entire floor of the room.
Sheepskin rug is a better choice than rugs of other materials, because it can be easily cleaned. Most of the rugs cannot be thrown into a washing machine, but it is safe to wash these rugs in a washing machine using a using a non-biological detergent. But make sure you do not dry it in direct sunlight.
