    Rug Care Guide

    How to keep your hand-knotted rug beautiful for generations.

    Regular Vacuuming

    Vacuum your rug regularly (at least once a week) to remove surface dirt and dust. Use a suction-only vacuum or turn off the rotating brush to avoid pulling fibers.

    Rotate Your Rug

    Rotate your rug every 3-6 months to ensure even wear, especially in areas exposed to direct sunlight to prevent uneven fading.

    Professional Cleaning

    Have your rug professionally cleaned every 1-2 years. Hand-knotted rugs require special care — always use a cleaner experienced with natural fiber rugs.

    Spills & Stains

    Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Never rub. For stubborn stains, consult a professional cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

    Storage

    Store your rug rolled (never folded) in a cool, dry place. Use a breathable fabric cover. Add cedar balls or lavender sachets to deter moths naturally.

    Sunlight Protection

    Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade natural dyes. Use curtains or blinds during peak sunlight hours, or rotate your rug periodically.
