CARE INSTRUCTION

Good handmade rugs can last for generations. A fine rug can last for generations, and age superbly with proper care. Following these simple recommendations will help you in taking good care of your handmade rug.

VACUUMING* Keeping your rugs clean and vacuuming them when necessary is fine, and if done right will not cause harm. Never vacuum any of the fringes on your rug. The continued catching of the fringe in the suction of a vacuum cleaner causes the fringes to break and tear. Always vacuum your rug without the beating brush, you can either turn the brush off, or just use the attachments.

CLEANING/WASHING* The beauty and life of your fine handcrafted rug depends largely on cleanliness and care. Handmade rugs should be washed regularly every three to five years depending on the use and the amount of traffic they bear. The best method is to get them cleaned when they look dirty and soiled.

WARNING- Under no circumstances should you dry clean or steam clean handmade rugs. These cleaning methods remove the natural oils and cause the material to become brittle and wear more rapidly. Do not machine wash or squeeze a handmade rug. The best way to clean the whole rug is for it to be washed using cold water and a mild detergent, this should be done by a competent cleaning expert.
