RUG CARE & CLEANING GUIDE

Vacuum Regularly

We recommend regular light vacuuming to remove dust and dirt from your rug. Use your vacuum on a light setting to avoid any damage of the pile. A good quality vacuum cleaner is recommended and we suggest avoiding powerful vacuums or power heads. 

Clean Spills & Spot Immediately

For everyday cleaning we recommend only ever using mild soapy lukewarm water to spot clean your carpet, tested on a small area first. The prompt removal of stains is necessary to maintain your rug's appearance. Spills should be cleaned immediately. Never rub a spill, instead blot any liquids with a dry absorbent white cloth. If your carpet is in need of a deeper clean due to spills, contact a professional rug cleaning service in your area that specialize in cleaning woolen rugs.

Fresh Air & Sunshine Treat

Occasionally hanging your rug outside and giving it a shake out in the sunshine and fresh air is great for giving your rug a freshen up. Allowing it some time in the sun naturally kills off any bacteria, smells or moisture that may have built up with every day use.

Furniture Markings

Be aware that some heavy furniture can mark and flatten the pile in rugs, causing irreversible damage. Some heavy or sharp edged furniture pieces, or constant moving of furniture, can pull the rug out of shape so it appears less square. 

Professional Cleaning

Try to have your rug professionally cleaned once a year using a professional carpet/rug cleaner. Giving your rug a professional eco friendly anti-bacterial clean is advised to refresh the wool and extend the life of your rug. Professional cleaning should be carried out only by a reputable company, and they should avoid using any shampoos or cleaners with a spirit base.
