Zebra skin rugs can make a beautiful accent piece to any living room of any home and they also make fantastic conversation pieces for your guests.

But before you make the decision to get one for yourself, consider learning how to care for it first. This one step will guarantee you get to enjoy your investment for many moons to come without any regrets.

A zebra skin rug should be vacuumed or shaken out at least once a week. This may vary depending on the room it’s in, but it’s important to clean it free of dirt and sand every week.

It is never a good idea to wait too long between cleaning times. If you allow the dirt to collect over a long time without removing it, it will simply take residence deep into the rug making it very difficult to clean next time around.

Stains are not to be tolerated under any circumstances. As soon as you see anything that remotely resembles a stain or smudge, don’t waste any time. Get your mild upholstery cleaner and spray it directly on the affected area. Then with a cloth, gently rub it in until the stain disappears.

Highly potent chemicals shouldn’t be used no matter what. The only thing they are good for is damaging animal hide rugs.

To keep the color of zebra skin rugs truer for a longer period of time, avoid placing them into places where they will receive direct sunlight. This is especially true for long periods of time. The more the zebra hide is in direct sunlight, the faster the colors of the rug will fade.

Despite the fact that animal hides are made to repel water, the exact opposite is true when they are in rug form. Unless you want to damage it, keep water or any liquids away from it.

A zebra hide should never be tossed in the dryer or on a clothesline if the outside temperature is very warm. Excessive heat could cause the skin to burn and it will be beyond repair.

As with buying any expensive item, treat your zebra skin rug as an investment. Genuine zebra skin rugs are not cheap so it’s important to clean them often and take special care of them to be sure they last a long, long time.

So you’re on the market for a new bed. Here are some commonsense tips to make you a happy owner of the bed that’s bound to give you sweet dreams. (wink, wink)

First, you’ll want a bed that’s big enough for you, or for two, if you are buying with your significant other. But how big is big? Only one way to find out: Lie on the prospective bed with arms stretched on your sides. Now that will give you an idea on how much space you require (plus your partner’s). Of course you need to consider your height,too. The idea is you need as much space to be comfy as you sleep without falling off or waking your partner up. And, yeah, you need to make sure it fits in your bedroom.

Next, is the firmness or softness of the bed. This isn’t the same for everybody. For one, people with back problems tend to choose firm matresses while almost everybody needs something between firm and soft. Again, to check if that bed is just right, you’ll need to lie on it for at least 10 minutes. Don’t be shy, you wouldn’t want to end up with a bed that’s less than comfy, right?

Then comes the bed’s height. You’ll want to get on and off the bed with ease so it follows that it should be the right height. Again, it’s best to try getting on and off the bed while you are choosing the right one.

Lastly, carefully consider the brand and the price. I’m not saying cheap beds are bad but then branded ones have a lot going for them like quality, warranty, the works. They wouldn’t have become well known for nothing. But just because the bed is pricey doesn’t mean its the best. Just do the tips mentioned here and you can’t go wrong. On that note, simplicity is good and never buy something with gadgets that you don’t know how to operate. So there! Happy buying and sweet dreams.
