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.

Never rub a stain — always blot
Avoid prolonged direct sunlight
Don't fold for storage — always roll

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
