Care Instructions for Wool Rugs
Rugs
- Shedding is normal in high-quality wool rugs. It is a natural process inherent to the material and will decrease over time. The amount of shedding will depend on the traffic pattern and use of your rug.
- If your rug arrives with curled ends, roll the ends in the opposite direction for a time until the rug relaxes.
- Using the beater bar when vacuuming your rug may cause damage. Turn off the beater bar or choose the "bare floor" setting on your vacuum.
- Avoid pulling any loose yarns. If necessary, clip the yarn even with the pile surface.
- Rotate your rug every six months to avoid uneven fading and wear patterns.
- Using a rug pad will extend the life of your rug, prevent slipping and provide cushioning.
- Blot spills immediately with a clean sponge, or cloth to absorb the spill. Use a mild detergent for stains, testing on a small, inconspicuous area first.
- Professionally clean for set-in stains or as needed.
Tips for all furniture
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry, white cloth.
- Avoid using household cleaners, spot removers, waxes and products containing ammonia unless specifically recommended.
- Do not set hot or damp items directly on furniture.
- Use felt pads to protect surfaces from scratches and imprints.
- If necessary, use a shim to ensure furniture sits evenly on floor or other surface.
