Topaz Wool/Viscose Rug Ivory 170x230

Topaz is a hand-tufted rug made of a blend of wool and viscose. The rug is predominantly made of wool with a smaller, shiny part made of viscose. The fields in the rug are in different tufting techniques that provide multiple textures to the rug. Where the fields meet, they are hand-clipped as a framing to the various textures.

Care Instructions

Vacuum frequently and thoroughly: 

• Vacuum the rug on both sides and the floor beneath it regularly. Never use the brush unfolded when vacuuming and adjust the vacuum strength. Never vacuum the edge/binding or fringe of the rug as it 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 and floor protection.

Pilling: 

• Wool rugs may pill, especially wool rugs with pile. This is completely normal and a characteristic of the fibre. Pilling may be most intense when the rug is brand new. However, there are no guarantees that pilling will decrease over time. Vacuum the rug regularly with a folded 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 expose it evenly to wear.

Stains: 

• Always remove minor stains immediately when they occur. Blot wet stains with dry paper towels.
• Dry stains should be gently scraped off the fibre, scraping from the edges of the stain towards the centre. Then, use lukewarm water on an uncoloured cloth or sponge. Dampen the stain with a damp uncoloured cloth and mild soap or detergent. Lather 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, preferably soon after the stain occurs as it increases the chances of cleaning the fibre thoroughly.

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 disappear faster if you air out or vacuum the rug.
