FAQs | Sheepskin Rugs & Reindeer Hides – The Nordic Hide Collection
🐑 FAQs for Sheepskin Rugs
1. Are your sheepskin rugs real or synthetic?
Our sheepskin rugs are 100% genuine, sourced from ethically raised sheep. Each hide is unique and naturally tanned using environmentally friendly methods.
2. How do I clean a sheepskin rug?
For routine cleaning, shake out the rug and brush gently with a wool comb. Spot-clean stains with a damp cloth and mild wool detergent. Avoid soaking or machine washing unless specified.
3. Can I use a sheepskin rug on the floor or as a throw?
Yes! Sheepskin rugs are incredibly versatile. Use them on hardwood floors, over chairs, or as a cozy layer on your bed or sofa.
4. Are your sheepskins ethically sourced?
Yes. We source our sheepskins from farms where the hides are by-products of the food industry. We do not support unethical or wasteful harvesting.
5. Will the rug look exactly like the photos?
Since sheepskin is a natural product, no two rugs are identical. While we photograph each style carefully, slight variations in shape, texture, and tone are normal—and part of their charm.
🦌 FAQs for Reindeer Hides
1. Are your reindeer hides real?
Yes, our reindeer hides are genuine, sourced from herders in northern Scandinavia. Each one is carefully selected for quality, softness, and color.
2. Can I use a reindeer hide as a rug?
Reindeer hides are best used as decorative throws on furniture, walls, or as statement pieces—not in high-traffic floor areas. The hairs are more delicate than sheepskin.
3. Do reindeer hides shed hair?
If cared for correctly our Reindeer hides will not shed and come with a 6 month guarantee. To minimise the chance of a reindeer hide shedding, avoid placing them near heat sources like radiators or underfloor heating. If your hide starts to shed within 6 months we will happily replace the hide.
4. How do I care for a reindeer hide?
Keep the hide dry and brush it occasionally with a soft brush. Do not wash or soak it. If needed, wipe lightly with a damp cloth and allow to air-dry naturally.
5. Are your reindeer hides sustainably and ethically sourced?
Absolutely. All our reindeer hides come from traditional Sámi herders and are by-products of meat production, ensuring no waste and full respect for nature.
