Daily maintenance

• Vacuum weekly using suction power only. Avoid beating brushes or rotating brushes, which can damage the fibers.
• Turn the rug over for a few hours once a month so that trapped dust can fall out.
• Shake or beat the rug outside occasionally to fluff the pile and remove dust.

Removing stains

• Blot up spilled liquid immediately with a clean cloth. Never rub, and work from the outside in.
• For light stains, cold water on a damp cloth is usually sufficient.
• For more stubborn stains, you can use a wool-safe cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and white vinegar. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Avoid hydrogen peroxide and bleach, as these can discolor and damage wool fibers.

Thorough cleaning

• Clean the rug thoroughly approximately every 6 months, more often in areas with heavy foot traffic.
• Steam cleaning is possible, provided you do not soak the rug. Let it dry completely before walking on it.
• For valuable or handmade woolen Berber rugs, professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months is safest.

Prevention

• Keep the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent discoloration.
• Tackle loose threads early. Cut them off, do not pull them.
• Turn the rug over occasionally for even wear.
