Maintenance Guide

Preserving the Legacy of Your Rug

A hand-knotted rug is meant to last generations. Here is how you can ensure it stays timeless.

The Golden Rules

Regular Vacuuming

Vacuum once a week on low suction. Avoid using rotary brushes (beater bars) on fringes.

Rotate Often

Rotate your rug 180° every 6 months to ensure even wear and prevent sun fading in one spot.

Instant Action

Blot spills immediately with a white cloth. Never rub the stain, as it pushes deeper into fibers.

Sun Protection

Direct UV rays can fade natural dyes. Use blinds or UV-protective window film for best results.

Emergency Stain Guide

Accidents happen. Here is how to handle common spills on wool and silk rugs.
Warning: Always test on a small hidden area first.

Red Wine / Coffee

Blot immediately. Mix mild detergent, white vinegar, and lukewarm water. Dab gently. Do not scrub.

Pet Accidents

Blot up moisture. Use a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:1) to neutralize odor. Call a professional if deep.

Mud / Dirt

Let it dry completely first! Once dry, vacuum the dirt up. If you wipe wet mud, it will stain permanently.

Quick Reference

Please Do

Please Avoid
