Care Guide

Care guide

Keep it beautiful.
It’s easy.

Every line has its own rhythm. Here is the whole manual, shorter than a recipe.

Washable rugs

Shake it out

Outside or over the tub; most of the week falls right off.

Machine, cold, gentle

The whole rug goes in as one piece. Cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent.

Dry flat or hang

Lay it flat or hang it over two chairs. Skip the dryer.

Back on the floor

The non-slip base grips again the moment it lands.

Coffee, wine, juice: Blot first, never rub; wash if it lingers
Pet accidents: Blot, rinse the spot cold, then machine wash
Mud: Let it dry fully, vacuum, spot-wipe
Never: Bleach, hot dryer, iron on the pile

Will it fit your washer?

A quick honest guide: match your rug size to the minimum washer drum. If yours is smaller, the laundromat's commercial machines handle it in one cycle.

Area rug	Minimum drum
2' × 3'60 × 90 cm	3 cu ft≈ 85 L
3' × 5'90 × 150 cm	4 cu ft≈ 115 L
4' × 6'120 × 180 cm	5 cu ft≈ 140 L
5' × 7'150 × 210 cm	6 cu ft≈ 170 L
5' × 8'150 × 240 cm	6 cu ft≈ 170 L

Runner	Minimum drum
2' × 6'60 × 180 cm	3 cu ft≈ 85 L
2.5' × 7'75 × 210 cm	4 cu ft≈ 115 L
2' × 10'60 × 300 cm	5 cu ft≈ 140 L
3' × 12'90 × 360 cm	6 cu ft≈ 170 L

Fold the rug loosely; never force the door shut. In doubt, go one size up on the drum.

Power-loomed classics

Vacuum weekly and rotate the rug twice a year so light and footsteps age it evenly. Blot spills quickly with a damp cloth. For a deep refresh every few years, trust a professional rug cleaner; the dense pile rewards it.

Hand-woven originals

Shake it out and vacuum without a beater bar. Flatweaves are reversible: flip it now and then and it wears twice as slowly. Blot spills with cold water. For anything serious, a professional cleaner who knows wool is your friend.
