Gentle care helps preserve your handwoven wool rug. Cleaning needs depend on the weave, dyes and use; contact us if you are unsure about your rug.
Everyday care
- Vacuum gently with suction only and the rotating brush switched off. Avoid the fringe.
- Use a suitable rug pad to reduce slipping and friction.
- Rotate the rug periodically to spread wear and reduce prolonged sun exposure on one area.
- Do not pull or cut loose fringe or structural threads. Send us a photo or consult a rug-repair specialist.
Spills and stains
Blot promptly with a clean, dry white cloth. Do not rub, scrub or soak the rug. Avoid heat, bleach, household stain removers and enzyme cleaners unless a specialist confirms they are suitable for your wool and dyes.
Before using any cleaning product or moisture, seek advice and test an inconspicuous area for color transfer. For persistent stains, pet accidents or dye bleeding, contact a specialist in handwoven wool rugs.
Professional cleaning
Choose a cleaner experienced with handmade wool rugs and natural dyes. Ask about colorfastness testing, gentle cleaning and thorough drying. Do not machine wash or steam clean your rug.
Storage and repairs
Store the rug clean and completely dry, rolled in a breathable cover in a cool, dry place. Check periodically for moisture, pests and damage. Have fraying edges, loose foundation threads or holes assessed promptly by a rug-repair specialist.
