Care & Cleaning
-
Vacuuming
Use a vacuum cleaner with a gentle suction setting; avoid using the beater brush as it can damage the knots.
Vacuum the rug regularly, especially in high-traffic areas.
Spot Cleaning
Blot spills immediately with a clean, damp cloth.
Mix a small amount of mild soap (diluted dish soap) with boiled water for stubborn stains.
Apply the solution to the stain, gently work it in with a soft-bristled brush, and rinse with clean water.
Deep Cleaning
Every 2-3 years, consider professional cleaning or use a reputable rug cleaning service.
Avoid soaking the rug, as this can cause colors to bleed or damage the foundation.
Drying
After cleaning, use a clean towel to blot excess moisture.
Allow the rug to air-dry away from direct sunlight and heat.
Avoid walking on the rug until it is completely dry to prevent slipping or damage.
Additional Tips
Rotate your rug every 6-12 months to ensure even wear.
Use rug pads or underlays to prevent slipping and cushioning.
Avoid exposing your rug to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures.

Shedding is a normal process for hand-knotted rugs, especially those made from natural fibers like wool, silk, or even cotton.
Here is why:
Natural fiber shedding:
Hand-knotted rugs are made from natural fibers that shed over time, releasing loose fibers.
Pile settlement:
As the rug is walked upon, the pile (the surface fibers) settles, causing some fibers to shed.
Knotting process:
The hand-knotting process can lead to some fibers being loose or uneven, resulting in shedding.
-
Hand-knotted rugs are renowned for their durability. They are designed to withstand foot traffic and everyday accidents, making them a long-lasting choice for any home. Crafted from natural fibers, they are easy to clean using mild soap and water, ensuring hassle-free maintenance. Additionally, the natural fibers and dyes are non-toxic, providing a safe and healthy environment for kids and pets.
