Care Instructions
Vacuum regularly 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. Avoid vacuuming the rug's edges/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 be slippery on the floor. We recommend using rug underlay for grip and floor protection.
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 normal and a characteristic of the fibre. Pilling may be more noticeable when the rug is new. There's no guarantee that pilling will decrease 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 wear.
Stains:
- Always remove minor stains immediately. Blot wet stains with dry paper towels.
- For dry stains, gently scrape from the edges towards the centre. Then apply lukewarm water on an uncoloured cloth or sponge. Dab the stain with a damp uncoloured cloth and mild soap or detergent. Create a lather with lukewarm water before applying. Avoid rubbing the stain as it may make it harder to remove. Blot the liquid and repeat until the stain is gone.
- Avoid using strong chemicals for home stain treatment. Tough stains should be handled by a professional, preferably soon after the stain occurs to increase the chances of fibre restoration.
Rug cleaning by a professional:
- 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. Ventilating or vacuuming the rug will help the odour disappear faster.
