Rug Care
It’s all about the joy when finally you have done something beautiful on your own and observe it with quite a great deal of proud & successful feeling.
Basic care and cleaning instructions include:
-
Slight color variation is a character of handmade rugs and of the handspun yarn that we use. It is not a defect but their beauty, and it is what separates them from machine-made carpets.
-
Shedding is regular and a normal condition of new rugs.
It will dissipate over a period of one to two months.
-
Do not use any kind of harsh brushes to clean the carpets. Instead, vacuum regularly to prevent dust and crumbs from settling into the roots of the pile.
-
Turn the carpet around occasionally to equalize wear.
-
Remove spill immediately. Blot with a clean, un-dyed cloth by pressing firmly around the spill to absorb as much as possible.
-
Expose the carpet to the sun for sometime if it gets wet.
-
Occasionally an individual strand can come loose, do not pull on this strand, as you will ruin the integrity of the rug. Use a pair of scissors to trim and even the pile.
-
For hard to remove stains on hand-knotted carpets, professional rug cleaning is recommended!
