Sheepskin Carpet Features

In the era of commercial abundance, modern production offers a wide range of carpets for every taste and financial possibilities. Among the variety of various options, products made from natural materials continue to be in demand.

The excellent characteristics of natural raw materials are expressed in perfect air circulation, excellent moisture absorption and fire resistance. Sheepskin carpets do not emit an unpleasant smell, they are hypoallergenic and do not shed. Due to the introduction of modern technology in the manufacture and processing of skins,sheep wool turns out easy and fluffy, keeps primitive texture of pile, despite numerous production manipulations.

It is pleasant and even useful to stand, walk and lie on such a carpet. The healing properties of natural furs are well known. Back in the old days, newborn babies were put to sleep on sheep skins. It was believed that this way you can charge the crumbs with energy, to protect from disease.

Animal wax, lanolin, which is in sheep's wool, has anti-inflammatory and anti-edema effects, and friction of wool fibers against each other creates an electrostatic field, which positively affects human health, relieves fatigue, tension and stress, improves mood.

In addition to the healing properties, the carpets made of Australian wool or long-tibetan sheep are aesthetically attractive, easy to fit into any interior. Soft and attractive sheepskin will be equally appropriate in the bedroom, in the nursery, and in the living room by the fireplace.

Various colors of flooring allow you to purchase a suitable model for the existing decoration of the room:

• Cream and Milk Coverage are in particular demand. Such consumer interest is caused by the fact that more often customers choose similar colors for rooms in the often used minimalist style, which is characterized by a “calm” color palette.
• No less in demand and brown models. Many may think that there is bear fur in front of them, however, this is a delusion, the sheep's fleece is just colored.

• All shades of gray valued for their compatibility with any direction of the interior and non-lightness. Products gray almost always with a short nap. The peculiarity is caused by the fact that if a long pile is laid down, this negative point will be most noticeable on gray carpets.
• Quite often, interiors are used and bright carpets. Red, blue, blue, green and other bright colors are usually chosen for decoration of rooms for children, however, such tones can be used to create bright and spectacular rooms.
• Fashion trends - carpets, stitched from colorful pieces. From the shreds spread original ornaments and patterns. The price of such a carpet is more than the cost of a single-colored painted model, however, its merit is the ability to completely change the interior, which is not always within the power of making monochrome products.

An undeniable feature of sheep wool flooring is a harmonious blend with any existing interior, be it classic or baroque.

However, there are design directions in which such coatings look more advantageous:

• The Scandinavian style prefers the use of plain skins of pastel colors. The shape of the product must be natural.
• Grunge is expressed in large-sized carpets with an average pile length.
• Minimalism is manifested in coatings of dull colors of regular shape. Pile should be short, low-key, matte. Preferred colors: gray and all shades of brown.
• In eco-style rooms, carpets should be laid out of a clear geometric shape (square, rectangle, oval, circle), of modest size, shortly cropped.
• Eclectic allows only square mats. It is better to buy cream models.
• Hi-tech will decorate the carpets collected from rags.Figure must be strictly symmetrical.

A suitable carpet, which for many years will be pleasing to the eye and warm the soul, you can choose by following the simple recommendations:

• Color and size. Modern production offers a wide range of different flooring options, choose from under the existing interior and room area is what.
• The length of the villi. There are three types of pile, differing in length: low, medium, long. Based on this criterion, carpets will look different. The difference will be expressed in the softness and ease of cleaning. To clean the hardest is a long pile.
• Manufacturers. The leader in quality is New Zealand sheep fleece. In this country, generations passed on experience, knowledge and skills, improved skills for the production of sheep hides. Good quality products are characterized by manufacturers from Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus. However, their products are slightly inferior to New Zealand carpets.

• Dressing The skin should be smooth, soft, without bald patches and other flaws.
• Smell of a sheep. Some manufacturers poorly cleaned the skins, so the natural smell of the animal is preserved on the finished flooring, which is difficult to remove, especially the smell of the Australian sheep.
• Cost It is better to buy a product more expensive in a specialized salon and get a high-quality product than to stingy and get a fake. There are many products made of artificial sheepskin on the modern market, they are cheaper, but their characteristics are completely different from products from natural raw materials.

The indisputable advantage of natural sheep wool coatings is their easy care.

In order for the carpet to remain visually “at a height”, you should:

• Clean the lint regularly. Dry cleaning is best done daily or at least several times a week. Wet cleaning every week.
• Daily care is to knock out the carpet and remove possible dirt (dust, hair, animal hair).
• Carpets made of lint is easy to vacuum, you can walk on the surface with a regular brush.
• Washing the carpet in a washing machine is possible at a water temperature not exceeding 30 ° C and only by special means. As a rule, manufacturers indicate all possible cleaning options on the product label. A large carpet can be placed in the drum of a machine, but it must be remembered that in such a case the pile can be applied and the carpet will lose its appeal.
