Care Guide
Faux Fur Throws, Cushion Covers & Pet Blankets
Due to the nature of faux fur fabrics, some initial fibre shedding may occur. This is normal and can usually be reduced by lightly vacuuming the item when first received.
Smaller faux fur items such as cushion covers and pet blankets may be washable; however, we strongly recommend dry cleaning only for all faux fur throws. Faux fur throws require careful aftercare to restore the pile, and larger sizes are extremely heavy when wet, which may damage domestic washing machines.
Where faux fur items are washable, use the coolest and most delicate machine setting with a medium spin and a mild detergent suitable for delicates. Items should be dried naturally on a flat surface. Do not tumble dry, iron, or apply heat, as this will damage the fibres. Washable items may also be hand washed. While damp, gently brush the pile with a soft brush to restore its appearance.
Faux fur items may become creased or compressed during transit. In most cases, this will settle after a few days once opened. For stubborn creases, lay the item flat, cover with a damp towel for around an hour, then gently brush the fibres into place and allow to dry naturally.
Please note that we cannot be held responsible for damage caused by cleaning that does not follow these guidelines. Further care information is provided on individual product pages.

Tartan & Fleece Throws and Fleece Pet Blankets
Tartan and fleece throws and blankets can be machine washed at 30°C using a mild detergent. As fleece dries quickly, we recommend air drying either folded or flat to minimise creasing.
If ironing fleece is required, place a damp cloth over the fabric and iron indirectly on a cool setting. Tartan throws should be ironed on a cool setting on the tartan side only, not on the fleece backing.

Printed Velvet Throws & Cushion Covers
Our printed velvet is digitally printed on 100% polyester fabric. These items may be spot cleaned, hand washed, or machine washed on a delicate cycle at no more than 30°C, using a mild detergent. Allow to dry naturally only. Do not tumble dry. Cool iron if required.

Seat Pads
Seat pads are suitable for indoor and outdoor use but are not waterproof. If a spill occurs, sponge the area immediately using clean warm water and a mild detergent, then allow to dry naturally. Do not machine wash or dry clean seat pads.

Cowhide Rugs
Cowhide rugs require minimal care and, if properly looked after, should last a lifetime. They are not suitable for high-traffic areas, as repeated use will cause hair loss over time.
Occasionally take the rug outside and gently shake to remove loose hairs. Light vacuuming is possible but take care around the edges. Cowhides should not get wet. In the event of a spill, dab immediately with warm water and mild detergent and allow to dry naturally. Do not wash, dry clean, or use chemical cleaners unless advised by a professional.

Sheepskin Rugs
Avoid getting sheepskin rugs wet. If they do become wet, allow them to dry naturally. To maintain the pile, brush gently using a soft brush or wide-tooth comb.
For dirt or soil, allow it to dry before brushing out. Spills should be dabbed with a damp cloth and mild wool detergent. We strongly recommend dry cleaning only. If machine washing is chosen, use a wool cycle at no more than 30°C with a mild wool detergent. Dry flat naturally and brush gently while damp. Please note the leather backing may stiffen if washed. We cannot accept responsibility for damage caused by machine washing.

Reindeer Skin Rugs
Occasionally take the rug outside and gently shake to remove dust. If vacuuming is required, use a brush attachment very gently.
Do not place reindeer rugs near heat sources such as fires or radiators, as this can dry out the hide and cause the hairs to become brittle. We strongly recommend dry cleaning only. Reindeer hides are not suitable for high-traffic areas and hair loss will occur if walked on regularly.
