Handmade wool rugs from Wool+Loom are timeless pieces of artistry and comfort, adding warmth and elegance to any space. To preserve their beauty and longevity, proper care and maintenance are essential. Here’s a guide to help you keep your luxury wool rug in pristine condition.

Regular Cleaning and Vacuuming

Routine cleaning is key to maintaining your handmade wool rug. Vacuum your rug at least once a week to remove dirt and debris that can wear down the fibers. Use a vacuum without a beater bar or set it to a gentle setting to avoid damaging the delicate wool. Always vacuum in the direction of the pile to maintain the rug’s texture.

Immediate Attention to Spills

Accidents happen, but quick action can prevent stains and permanent damage. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can spread the stain and damage fibers. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent diluted in water, or consult a professional cleaner experienced with wool rugs.

Rotation for Even Wear

To ensure your rug ages evenly, rotate it every six months. This simple step prevents uneven wear and fading caused by foot traffic and sunlight exposure, preserving the rug’s vibrant colors and texture.

Professional Cleaning

While regular vacuuming and spot cleaning are effective, deep cleaning your wool rug professionally every 12 to 18 months is recommended. Professionals use gentle methods tailored for handmade wool rugs, ensuring a thorough cleanse without compromising the rug’s quality.

Protect from Sunlight and Moisture

Wool is naturally durable but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade colors over time. Place your rug away from intense sunlight or use curtains to protect it. Additionally, avoid placing your rug in damp or humid areas to prevent mold and mildew.

With these care tips, your Wool+Loom handmade wool rug will remain a stunning centerpiece in your home for years to come. Enjoy the luxury of fine craftsmanship with confidence!
