Classic Collection Merino Rug Runner White 80x150

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

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

This rug is certified by Care & Fair, an organization working 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 to 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 power of your vacuum cleaner. Avoid vacuuming the edges/binding or fringes of the rug 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 be slippery on the floor. Therefore, we recommend using rug underlay for anti-slip protection 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.

Shedding: 

• Wool rugs shed, especially those with pile. This is entirely normal and a characteristic of the fibre. Shedding may be most noticeable when the rug is new. However, there are no guarantees that shedding will decrease over time. Vacuum the rug regularly with the brush head retracted 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 expose it evenly to wear and tear.

Stains: 

• Always remove minor stains immediately when they occur. Blot wet stains with dry paper towels.
• For dry stains, gently scrape them off from the edges towards the centre of the fibre. Then, dampen an uncoloured cloth or sponge with lukewarm water and mild soap or detergent. Lather the solution with lukewarm water before applying it. 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 treating stains at home. Tough stains should be treated by a professional, preferably soon after the stain occurs as it increases 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. The odour will fade faster if you air or vacuum the rug.

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 preserving old craft traditions.
