Cowhide cushions are both stylish and long lasting, and they add a touch of modern sophistication to any room.  These cushions are both comfortable and have a unique texture. They can be used as a statement piece or to go with leather furniture.  But, like any natural product, they need special care to stay beautiful, and last a long time.

To clean cowhide cushions, the first and most important rule is to move quickly.  If you spill something, use a clean, dry cloth to slowly wipe the area dry. Do not rub it.  If you need to clean up a spill of liquid, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Always wipe in the direction of the hair.  Soaking the hide or using harsh chemicals on it can damage it and make it dry out.

 As part of regular maintenance, vacuuming your cushions with a brush attachment is a good way to get rid of dust and dirt without damaging the natural fibers.  To keep the hide looking new, gently shake them outside or give them a light brush with a soft-bristle brush.  Also, rotating the cushions every so often can help make sure they wear evenly, especially in areas that get a lot of use.

When your cowhide gets tangled or wrinkled, mist it lightly with water and reshape it by hand.  Don't put it in direct sunlight or near heat sources while it dries. Heat or sunlight can make the hide stiff or fade over time.  Do not put your cushions in places that are wet or humid, as this can cause mildew to grow.

It's also a good idea to buy high-quality items from reputable sellers, whose hides are sourced ethically and treated well.  Linen Connections, and other Australian brands that sell cowhide cushions make their products by hand and make them last a long time. They are also easy to clean, if you pay attention to them.

 They can be a beautiful part of your home decor for years to come if you clean them properly and do some regular maintenance.  Each one is different because of its natural variations in color and pattern, and if you take good care of them, they only get cuter with age.
