Classic Collection Merino Rug Runner Natural Beige 80x150

A thick and lovely, handwoven wool runner. A dirt-repellent wool rug that is reversible and therefore suitable as a hallway rug, a kitchen rug, or a cosy bed rug.

The natural fats in the wool make the rug resistant to dirt and stains in an effective way. Any dirt settles on the surface and can be easily removed by vacuuming or airing.

This rug is certified by Care & Fair, an organisation that works to provide workers with good working conditions, proper education, and fair wages. It also means that Classic Collection donates money to families in the rug weaving districts. The money goes towards the children, enabling regular schooling and healthcare.

Care Instructions

Vacuum often and thoroughly: 

• Vacuum the rug on both sides and the floor underneath regularly. Never use the brush attachment when vacuuming and adjust the suction strength of your vacuum cleaner. Avoid vacuuming the rug's edge/bindings or fringes as they may get damaged. Rugs with pile should be vacuumed in the direction of the pile.

Rug underlay: 

• The rug has an unlined back that may slide on the floor. We recommend using rug underlay for grip and to protect the floor.

Brush the shaggy rug: 

• Rugs with long pile need to be brushed regularly to maintain the fibre's appearance. Use a wide-toothed comb.

Pilling: 

• Wool rugs may pill, especially those with pile. This is entirely normal and a characteristic of the fibre. Pilling may be most noticeable when the rug is new. However, there are no guarantees that pilling will reduce over time. Vacuum the rug regularly with a brush head to remove excess fibres from production. We also recommend shaking the rug before use to fluff up the pile and remove excess wool.

Rotate the rug: 

• Rotate the rug in the room regularly to ensure even exposure and wear.

Stains: 

• Always remove minor stains promptly. Blot wet stains with dry paper towels.
• Dry stains should be gently scraped from the fibre's tip, scraping from the edges towards the centre. Then, dampen a clean cloth or sponge with lukewarm water and mild soap or colourless soap. Foam up the solution with lukewarm water before applying. Do not rub the stain as it may make it harder to remove. Blot up the liquid and repeat until the stain is gone.
• Avoid using strong chemicals for home stain treatment. Tough stains should be treated by a professional, preferably soon after the stain occurs to improve the chances of cleaning the fibre effectively.

Professional rug cleaning: 

• Always take your rug to a reputable laundry for professional flat washing. Classic Collection rugs should not be machine or dry cleaned.

Additional information: 

• All new rugs have a distinct odour that will dissipate over time. Airing or vacuuming the rug will help the odour disappear faster.

Classic Collection products are handmade and therefore entirely unique. This may lead to variations in pattern, colour, and size. These differences create a vibrant and distinctive product. Take good care of your new rug, and it will adorn your home for a long time. Each Classic Collection rug creates jobs and contributes to the preservation of old craft traditions.
