Care Instructions

Cleaning Instructions:
For regular upkeep, simply vacuum your rug with gentle strokes. If your rug necessitates a more thorough cleaning, hand wash it using only cold water. It's crucial to avoid using any detergents or washing machines.
After washing, lay the rug flat on a surface for drying. Refrain from hanging the rug to dry as this could result in color bleeding. It's important to note that color mixing may occur if the rug is hung to dry.

Storage Instructions:
If you plan to store your rug for an extended period without use, we recommend utilizing moth deterrents. Natural remedies are most effective for moth protection. Moths tend to avoid specific scents such as Lavender, Peppermint, Clove, Bay Leaves, Cedarwood, Patchouli, Thuja, and lemon peel.
To deter moths, consider placing or hanging cedarwood pieces, lavender sachets, or dried lemon peel near your rug. These scents are likely to keep moths at bay.
While the potent fragrances of Lavender, Peppermint, and other plant aromas are effective initially, they require regular replenishment to maintain their efficacy. Cedarwood, conversely, can be reinvigorated repeatedly by simply roughing its surface with sandpaper.
