The rug has been spot cleaned after pet accidents, usually around the edges. Now I need to know how to make those areas soft and pliable again!

    Use a leather conditioner and work it in to the leather. If the edges are curling, just curl them in the opposite direction while conditioning. If the edges are really dry, you may have to cut the edges out from the underside. Use a sharp knife at a 45 degree angle, using a wiggling motion, cut the dry parts from inside to the outside of the rug leaving some of the nap to overlap the new edge.

      @Pat No. Actually water isn't really good for hides. The conditioner cream based. Just rub the conditioner in to soften the hide.

    Any leather conditioner should work. It's like applying lotion to dry skin
