Wool rugs are an excellent choice because they are extremely durable, a naturally flame-retardant fiber, warm in winter, and cool in summer.
Wool rugs retain their color well, maintaining their natural appearance. Lanolin, an oil that occurs naturally in wool, makes wool rugs more resistant to stains than other materials.
Shedding (or pilling) is inherent in wool rugs. New wool rugs will experience this noticeable loss of pile in the first few months, depending on the level of use. But don't worry, this is normal and will not affect the quality of the rug.
Pop-ups (or bobbles) are a normal feature of handmade rugs. Pop-ups occur when the end threads of wool become visible in the weave. This is part of the nature of a handmade rug and can be trimmed or pushed back without affecting the integrity of the weave.
Instructions and Care
Rotate the rug every 3 months to prevent fading and uneven wear.
Vacuum regularly using suction only, without bristles. Regular vacuuming will reduce shedding over time.
Avoid pulling loose threads. If necessary, trim them to be level with the pile height.
Avoid direct sunlight to prevent UV damage or fading.
Clean as needed using a damp (not wet) cloth with plain water; use a mild detergent as needed.
Professional cleaning is recommended; send the rug to a professional service with experience in cleaning fine rugs.
To preserve the life of the rug, we recommend using a non-slip underlay.
