CARE & CLEANING FOR YOUR LUXURY RUG
LOOSE THREADS:
Avoid pulling on loose threads as this will damage the weaving. Instead, use a pair of scissors to clip the loose thread off.
MUD:
Let the mud dry and then gently hoover until it is all gone. Regular vacuuming and brushing will ensure that any dirt is regularly removed from your carpet.
ABRASH:
Our dyeing process and hand spun yarn means that the colour may not always take to the yarn evenly resulting in an effect called abrash. This gives your hand knotted rug its character and life!
FADING:
Despite using the highest quality dyes, no rug is completely impervious to fading. This means that you should rotate your rug every so often to ensure that fading occurs evenly. This will also help with the damage caused by traffic.
The most common concern when investing in a luxury rug is what to do in the event of a spillage; while the choice of material can determine how prone the rug will be to staining, knowing how to properly treat a spillage will greatly minimise the chances of damage.
