Because of the soft and thick hide, cowhide rugs also bring a note of luxury to a room. Imagine sinking your feet into the soft hairs as you curl up on the rug in front of a fire. Cowhide rugs can also act as a tapestry for your walls or as a throw blanket over your couch. You will feel like you are in a five star hotel when you decorate with cowhide.

Cowhide rugs are also very durable and easy to take care of. To clean them, all you have to do is wipe up spills with a dry cloth or clean up dirt with the vacuum. An authentic cowhide rug holds up well against the constant flow of kids and pets throughout the house and will last you a very long time.

Here are some tips for ensuring that you pick a quality cowhide rug:

  • Know where the cowhide is coming from. Experts agree that the highest quality cowhide rugs come from Brazil, Argentina, Columbia and France so make sure you know where yours is coming from. Top manufacturers will use special chrome salts and oils in the tanning process for the highest quality and softest hides. Also look for companies that are against animal cruelty and who only use skins from cows who were raised for their meat and milk. It is important to look into the background of the company you are considering purchasing from.
  • Test the quality of the cowhide. There are different ways you can test the quality of the cowhide. You can do the bunch test where you bunched the rug up and then let it fall out. High quality rugs will fall out naturally without any wrinkles. You can also do a smell test to see if it smells like genuine leather. Don’t worry you will be immediately able to tell the difference. You should also look at the coat. If it appears shiny and health then you probably have a good quality hide.

Because you are most likely going to order your cowhide rug online, it is important to go with a company that has a good return policy. That way you can do these quality tests once you receive your cowhide rug and be reassured that you can always return the rug if it doesn’t pass the tests to your satisfaction.
