Jute & Jute Blend Rugs
Do not use a rug shampooer, steam cleaner or any water saturation method to clean jute. Excessive moisture can damage jute and lead to mold or mildew. If you use water, use distilled water and a soft bristle brush to gently work the stain out, blotting away excess moisture. Consider accelerating the drying process with a fan or hair dryer.
A dry-cleaning kit is best for cleaning jute rugs. Alternatively, use dry shampoo or baking soda. Use a soft brush to gently work baking soda into the fibers, let it sit for a few hours then vacuum it.
If a stain persists, it may require professional rug cleaning.
Some cats enjoy scratching jute, so we do not recommend jute rugs for homes with cats; consider a wool or PET rug instead.
Using a rug pad will extend the life of your rug, prevent slipping and provide cushioning.
If your rug arrives with curled ends, roll the ends in the opposite direction for a time until the rug relaxes.
Using the rotating brush or beater bar when vacuuming your rug may cause damage. Turn off the rotating brush or 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.
If storing, roll them up and wrap them in cloth. Do not fold or store in plastic. Place in a dry, well-ventilated area.
