Maintenance & Care

Handmade rugs are very durable, but some maintenance is required. The maintenance and care may vary per rug. Some useful tips to remember:

The shedding of natural fibers of a newly-made rug is normal. We do try to reduce this at our warehouse before delivery. Regular vacuuming of rugs can reduce shedding.

Vacuuming the rug at least once a week is advised. Vacuuming must be done in the direction of the pile, the side that does not rise when you run your hand against it.

Clip any loose ends with scissors, and do not pull.

For spills, rinse the area with club soda and blot it with a clean white cloth.

Professional rug cleaning is required every few years; two is recommended, depending on foot traffic. Some do not clean rugs for a decade; some clean them every year. If you take care of your rug, it can last in good condition for decades.

Do not leave your rug in the attic or basement, as these rugs are made of all-natural materials and can attract pests. 

Rainwater is acidic in its PH level. Any rug that gets soaked in rainwater needs to be professionally cleaned immediately
