🧼 Rug Care Guide
Handmade wool rugs are crafted to last generations, and with the right care, yours will remain soft, vibrant, and beautiful for years to come. Follow these essential tips to protect your investment.
🧹 Regular Vacuuming
Vacuum your rug once a week using a suction-only vacuum. Do not use rotating brush heads or beater bars as they may pull the fibers and damage the wool pile. For upright vacuums, ensure the beater bar is turned off or use a handheld attachment.
🔄 Rotate Every Few Months
Rotate your rug every 3–6 months to ensure even wear over time, especially in high-traffic areas.
🧴 Spot Cleaning Spills
Blot spills immediately using a clean, dry, absorbent cloth. Never rub, as it can spread the stain and damage the pile. For tougher spots, use a mild wool-safe detergent diluted in cold water. Never use bleach, ammonia, or strong chemical cleaners. These can break down natural wool fibers and fade dyes.
🧼 Deep Cleaning
For deep or seasonal cleaning, hire a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool or handmade rugs. Recommended every 12–24 months depending on traffic.
🛋 Use Rug Padding
A quality rug pad helps prevent slipping, extends rug life, and adds cushioning. It also improves air circulation and makes vacuuming more effective.
📦 Storage Tips
When storing, roll your rug (do not fold), wrap it in breathable fabric like cotton or muslin (avoid plastic), and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid damp or humid areas to prevent mildew and fiber damage.
