Product care

Proper at-home cleaning is essential for maintaining the beauty and longevity of your rugs, as the buildup of dirt can significantly reduce their lifespan. Regular vacuuming is crucial, especially in high-traffic areas. Take care to use gentle suction and brushless attachments, and move the vacuum slowly in the direction of the weave, avoiding catching any threads. It’s recommended to clean both sides eventually to ensure thorough removal of dirt.

In the event of liquid spills, it’s essential to act promptly and carefully. Start by removing any solid materials, then use a paper towel or cotton cloth to gently blot up the liquid, avoiding rubbing to prevent dye migration. If the stain persists, use a specific wool detergent or a small amount of lukewarm water, white vinegar and detergent, for gentle cleaning with a sponge. Make sure to thoroughly rinse the area and dry it with a clean towel.

For mud or dirt, it’s recommended to wait for the stain to dry before vacuuming. Cautiously clean using a sponge and specific wool detergent or the homemade solutions mentioned before. If you have any doubts, seek professional advice or assistance.

Constant exposure to sunlight or strong lamps can damage the dyes over time. To preserve the natural colors of your rugs, we recommend placing them in areas with light filtered through curtains or blinds, among others. We also suggest rotating them to ensure even wear.

Over time or if the rug is placed in a high-traffic area, pilling or lint may occur. These can easily be removed using an electric lint shaver. To avoid damaging the fabric or cutting any threads, it’s important to run the shaver flush with the rug. Finally, vacuum the rug in the direction of the fabric, to remove residue and dirt.

We recommend scheduling professional cleaning at least once every one to three years, depending on the rug’s transit and the environment it’s used in. Certain pieces may require dry cleaning for optimal care. It’s crucial to engage the services of an experienced professional who specializes in cleaning flat handwoven rugs to ensure the best results and preserve the beauty of your rug.
