Care Advice

Woolen Rugs - Care and Maintenance

The natural material wool is both durable and naturally dirt-repellent. If you follow a few simple tips and guidelines, your wool rug has great potential to become a long-lasting companion. Vacuum your wool rug at least once a week, more often if it is placed in an area with heavy wear. Always use the flat nozzle without a brush when vacuuming.

A rug pad helps protect your wool rug from wear. It also keeps the rug more securely in place.

A rug with a slightly longer pile should be vacuumed in the direction of the pile to minimize wear. All new wool rugs contain excess fibres from the manufacturing process, so it is natural for your new rug to shed some loose wool fibres at first. If you vacuum the rug more thoroughly during the first few weeks, shedding will soon decrease.

We also recommend rotating your wool rug regularly, for example a couple of times a year. This helps ensure more even wear and more balanced exposure to sunlight and shade.


Cleaning instructions

Our rugs should be cleaned by a professional cleaner by flatwash or dry clean. You should never machine wash the rug.

Stain treatments

If the carpet is stained, act immediately, most often the stain can be removed. Do as follows:
  1. If you have dropped liquid on the carpet (wine, coffee, milk etc.) try to soak up the liquid by using a kitchen towel or toilet paper or both from both sides of the rug. Don’t rub. If you have dropped food on your rug use a spoon to remove as much as possible from the rug.
  2. Mix luke warm water with mild detergent like shampoo 1 to 1. Dip a white cloth into the mix and damp the stain. Don’t rub. Repeat if necessary.
  3. Use a white cloth to dry the spot.
  4. Make a new mix of luke warm water and hair conditioner.
  5. Dip a white cloth into the new mix and damp the stain. Then use a dry cloth on the same spot. Repeat this process 3-5 times.
  6. Finally dry the area that has been stained with a white cloth or toilet paper or both.
  7. Hopefully the stain should be removed by now. If not it, you would need to leave the carpet to a professional cleaner.

Indoor/Outdoor rugs

For outdoor use simply rinse with water using a garden hose. Keep the rug stored indoors during severe weather conditions. For indoor use vacuum regularly and rotate periodically. In the event of spills on the rug dab the affected area (don´t rub) with a soft cotton cloth. To remove dirt spots, use a solution of mild soap and water.
