Care Instructions
Vacuum frequently and thoroughly:
- Vacuum the rug on both sides and the floor under the rug regularly. Never use the brush attachment when vacuuming and adjust the suction strength of your vacuum. Never vacuum the edge/selvedge or fringe of the rug as it may cause damage. Rugs with pile should be vacuumed in the direction of the pile.
Rug underlay:
- The rug has an unlined back that may be slippery against the floor. Therefore, 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 pill, especially those with pile. This is completely 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 decrease over time. Vacuum the rug regularly with the brush 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 ensure even exposure and wear.
Stains:
- Always remove minor stains immediately when they occur. 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, apply lukewarm water on an uncoloured cloth or sponge. Dampen the stain with a damp uncoloured cloth and mild soap or detergent. Foam 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 treating stains at home. Tough stains should be treated by a professional and preferably soon after the stain occurs to increase the chances of cleaning the fibre effectively.
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. The odour will dissipate faster if you air out or vacuum the rug.
