Care Advice
Woolen Rugs - Care and MaintenanceThe 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 instructionsOur rugs should be cleaned by a professional cleaner by flatwash or dry clean. You should never machine wash the rug.Stain treatmentsIf the carpet is stained, act immediately, most often the stain can be removed. Do as follows:
