Hollow Hair for Insulation
Reindeer hair is hollow, which provides excellent insulation, helping the animal survive in extremely cold environments. Large populations of reindeer live above the Arctic Circle in Sweden and Finland, where winters are particularly harsh. However, the hollow structure that makes their fur insulating also makes it more fragile, with the hairs breaking more easily.
Natural Product, Extra Care
As a 100% natural product, reindeer hides require a bit more care than synthetic rugs to keep them in optimal condition. With proper care, you can maintain their beauty for many years. The good news is that there are simple tips you can follow to extend the life of your reindeer hide.
Tip 1: Airing the Hide
When you first get a reindeer hide, expect some shedding of loose hair. This is normal and caused by the treatment processes during manufacturing and transport. Airing the hide outdoors will help remove loose hairs and any initial odor. Just avoid direct sunlight to protect the fur’s color and prevent hair loss. You can lightly comb the fur to remove loose hairs and keep it looking fresh.
Tip 2: Limit Foot Traffic
Reindeer hides are made up of hollow hairs, which are prone to breaking with excessive foot traffic. To prolong its lifespan, avoid placing the hide in high-traffic areas. Consider using it as a decorative piece on a sofa, bed, or wall, where it won’t be stepped on frequently.
Tip 3: Hang it on the Wall
Reindeer hides are ideal for wall decor, as they won’t be handled as often. While you can fully use the rug, frequent handling will reduce its lifespan.
Tip 4: Keep Away from Heat
Avoid placing your reindeer hide near sources of extreme heat, like fireplaces or under direct sunlight, as this can dry out the leather and cause hair loss. Exposure to heat will also fade the unique colors and stiffen the leather, affecting the hide’s longevity.
Tip 5: Keep It Dry
Moisture is the enemy of reindeer hides. Avoid placing the hide in damp areas like bathrooms or entrances where wet shoes can come into contact with it. Excess moisture can cause the hide to stiffen and lead to mold growth, permanently damaging the fur.
Tip 6: Vacuum Gently
You can vacuum your reindeer hide to remove loose dirt and debris, but always use the lowest setting and move in the direction of the hair. Using a couch brush attachment helps minimize hair breakage. Gently combing the fur can also keep it soft and well-maintained.
Tip 7: Clean Spills Carefully
If fluids are spilled on the hide, quickly absorb them with tissues before they seep into the fur or leather. Use a lightly damp cloth to clean the leather side, but be careful with sugary or colored liquids, as they can stain. Be sure to dry the hide completely before placing it back in its usual spot to prevent mold.
Tip 8: Cleaning Stains
For tough stains, like food or colored liquids, using a mild baby shampoo with lukewarm water is your best option. Treat only the stained area and avoid soaking the entire hide. After cleaning, air-dry the hide in a well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight.
Tip 9: Avoid Scrubbing Stubborn Dirt
If the dirt is particularly sticky or hard to clean, resist the urge to scrub. Scrubbing can damage both the fur and leather. Instead, seek professional dry cleaning from a specialist experienced with animal hides.
Tip 10: Protect the Hide from Pets
Pets are naturally attracted to reindeer hides because of their soft texture and smell. While your pet may enjoy lounging on the hide, this can shorten its lifespan. Cats, in particular, may loosen hairs by kneading with their claws. If you prefer to preserve the hide, try keeping it away from pets.
Tip 11: Store Carefully
When storing your reindeer hide, avoid rolling it up tightly in a bag, as it needs to breathe. Condensation can form in an airtight space, leading to mold. Store it in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If stored for a long time, roll it loosely instead of folding to prevent creases.
By following these simple tips, you can enjoy the beauty and comfort of your reindeer hide for years to come. With minimal care, your hide will stay soft, supple, and looking its best!
