Precautions and Care Instructions

Daily Care

- Light vacuuming 2-3 times a week (along the pile with low to medium suction power)

- The gray areas are prone to showing dirt, so try to clean them frequently

- Periodically flip the rug to ensure good overall ventilation and prevent moisture buildup and dust mites

- If brushing, do so gently along the direction of the pile

- Handle the white fringe parts with particular care to prevent tangling

Emergency Stain/Spill Treatment

- If you spill liquid, immediately blot with a dry, white towel to absorb it

- Prompt action is crucial, especially for the gray areas where stains are more visible

- Gently dab with a towel wrung out in water diluted with a mild detergent

- Always thoroughly rinse out all detergent with clean water and dry completely

- Do not leave the rug wet for an extended period to prevent color transfer from the red areas

Professional Cleaning

- Regular professional cleaning is recommended (please consult us)

- It is important to have it cleaned by a specialist who understands the characteristics of natural dyes and multi-color combinations

- Avoid self-washing as it requires specialized techniques to prevent color transfer and fading
