Caring for your luxury rug: depending on the material
Proper care of your rug is essential to maintaining its beauty and durability. Choosing the right cleaning products and methods depends largely on the material of the carpet. In this article, we provide you with valuable tips for carpet maintenance based on the material of manufacture. Learn how to keep your wool, bamboo silk and jute rugs in optimal condition and enjoy their beauty for longer.
Wool
Wool rugs are extremely durable, making them well suited for entryways, hallways, kitchens, and dining rooms. Lanolin, a natural oil in wool, makes wool rugs more stain resistant than other materials. Shedding is inherent to wool rugs and occurs mainly in the first 3-6 months. All of our wool rugs use long fiber wool, which is less prone to shedding than shorter fibers.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Rotate the rug every 3 months to prevent uneven fading and wear
- Vacuum regularly in one direction (not back and forth) using suction only, no bristles. Vacuuming regularly will reduce shedding over time
- Avoid pulling loose threads. If necessary, trim them so they are even with the stack.
- Spot clean as needed with a damp (not wet) cloth under running water; Do not use soap or cleaning products as they could damage or discolor the rug.
- For larger, deeper stains, send the carpet to a professional service experienced in cleaning fine carpets.
bamboo silk
Our 100% long bamboo fiber, plant-based viscose has delicate beauty, high gloss and rich color and pattern. Viscose rugs are characterized by tonal variations that can be affected by light in a room as well as by the angle from which the rug is viewed. Changing highlights and lowlights in the color of the rug's surface are expected to be inherent in the design. Viscose rugs should be placed in areas where there is less potential for stains, excess moisture, or excessive wear.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Rotate the rug every 3 months to prevent uneven fading and wear.
- Vacuum as needed in one direction (not back and forth) using suction only, no bristles.
- No spot cleaning; Never use liquids on viscose rugs. Avoid rubbing stains, which causes them to set deeper.

Jute
Jute is a sustainable, extremely durable and long-lasting fiber. Given its hand-woven nature, slight variations in shading are inherent to the design of each rug.
