CARE ADVICE FOR HAND TUFTED RUGS

All rugs retain their appearance and shape for longer if you remove dirt and stain regularly. If you have a light single color rug you will naturally need to clean it more often than a darker, patterned rug. Shaking or beating a hand tufted rug subjects it to rough treatment that can damage the rug.


We therefore recommend that you vacuum and air your rug. If you have hand tufted rugs you can also turn it upside down and carefully beat the reverse side so that loose dirt drop etc.​

​Vacuum Clean Often – Effective vacuuming is the easiest and most environmentally friendly cleaning method. It is also the most economical when you vacuum regularly you remove all the loose dirt and dust.
Do not use a vacuum cleaner with a rotary brush nozzle on long pile rugs where there is a risk of damaging the yarn and the twisted thread pair. If you want to get rid of excess fiber faster, you can vacuum the rug daily for initial period.
