Care instructions
Our hand-knotted rugs are crafted from high-quality natural materials including wool and silk. To preserve their beauty, avoid prolonged direct sunlight, as uneven exposure can cause fading over time. Rotate your rug occasionally for even wear and color aging. Vacuum gently without a beater bar, blot spills immediately with a clean dry cloth, and professionally clean when needed. To help prevent moth wear, keep the rug clean, dry, and in a well-ventilated space, especially during long-term storage. If your rug ever needs cleaning or restoration, feel free to reach out — we’re always happy to help. Slight shedding and natural variations are normal and part of each rug’s handmade character.
