Care Guide

A well-cared-for Moroccan rug lasts generations. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your handwoven piece beautiful for years to come.

The golden rule: blot, don't rub. Whether it's a spill, a stain, or a splash — always press gently with a clean cloth. Rubbing spreads the stain and damages fibres.

Daily Care Essentials

✦

Rotate Regularly

Rotate your rug 180° every 3–6 months to ensure even wear and prevent colour fading from sunlight.

✦

Vacuum Gently

Vacuum weekly on a low setting without a beater bar. Always vacuum in the direction of the pile, never against it.

✦

Shake It Out

For smaller rugs, take them outside and give them a good shake every few weeks to remove dust and debris.

✦

Use a Rug Pad

A quality non-slip rug pad prevents bunching, protects your floor, adds cushioning, and extends the rug's life.

Stain Removal Guide

Coffee & Tea

Blot immediately. Apply cold water with white vinegar (1:1). Blot again. Repeat until clear.

Red Wine

Blot (don't rub). Apply salt to absorb. After 15 min, vacuum salt. Dab with cold soda water.

Pet Accidents

Blot thoroughly. Apply enzyme-based cleaner. Rinse with cold water. Air dry completely.

Mud & Dirt

Let it dry completely. Vacuum or brush off dried mud. Spot-clean residue with mild soap and cold water.

Grease & Oil

Sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch. Wait 30 min to absorb. Vacuum. Dab with diluted dish soap.

Ink

Dab with rubbing alcohol on a white cloth. Work from the outside in. Rinse with cold water.

Professional Cleaning

We recommend professional cleaning every 3–5 years. Always choose a cleaner experienced with handwoven wool rugs — not all dry cleaners understand natural-dye fibres.

✓Ask for hand-washing, not machine
✓Request air-drying, not tumble
✓Specify no bleach or optical brighteners

Long-Term Storage

If you need to store your rug for an extended period, follow these steps to keep it in perfect condition.

✓Clean thoroughly before storing
✓Roll (never fold) with pile facing inward
✓Wrap in breathable cotton, not plastic
✓Store flat in a cool, dry place with cedar blocks
