Prices vary depending on size and markings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of our hides are chromium tanned, which does not only provide a highly durable rug with no unpleasant smells and odours, but it also ensures a supple finish.  This supple finish makes these hides a popular choice for those looking to use the hide for upholstery of furniture, including footstools and other items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general cleaning and care, use a soft bristle brush on your vacuum cleaner hose and brush lightly in the direction of the hair.  Try to ensure that you do not go against the grain and push the hair upwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a dry day, take your hide outside and give it a gentle shake to allow fresh air into the hide and hair.  This gives your hide the chance to breath, reducing odours and small particles which might have collected in the hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you spill something on your hide, use a damp cloth and a little mild soapy water to wipe the hide in the direction of the hair grain.  Try not to soak the hide and get it too wet. After the stain has been removed, use a clean damp cloth to remove any remaining soap.  Raise the damp area off the floor so that it can dry fully. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnpacking Your Hide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will send your hide to you folded and it is important for you to allow time for your hide to \"relax\" after it is unfolded and laid out on your floor.  Any creases will drop out when your hide is in place.  If you have a stubborn crease or fold, pop a few books on the affected, this will help your hide to settle again.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStoring Your Hide\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour hide should be stores in a cool and dry place with a good degree of ventilation.  If you need to store your hide, it is important to roll or fold your hide with the hair facing inwards.  This helps to protect the hair and prevent unnecessary strain on the hair structure.  Just remember, that it will take some time to settle again when you place it on the floor, in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rural Urban","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56447908151676,"sku":"22227","price":260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/6228\/4255\/files\/08030972100-22227-854x1024.jpg?v=1772717851","url":"https:\/\/www.ruralurban.co.uk\/products\/cowhide-exotic-stripe-medium","provider":"Rural Urban","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
