Care Instruction

Product Care Instructions for Hemp-Made Vintage Rug

Routine Cleaning:

Vacuuming Frequency: Vacuum your vintage hemp rug once a week to maintain its pristine condition.

Vacuuming Method: Use a suction attachment instead of a rotary vacuum to preserve the delicate fibers and protect the intricate handwoven patterns.

Periodic Maintenance:

Flipping and Rotating: Flip and rotate your rug annually to ensure even wear and extend its lifespan by distributing foot traffic and sunlight exposure more evenly.

Professional Care:

Hand-Washing: Have your rug professionally hand-washed every 3-5 years using a pH-balanced shampoo and a soft-bristled brush. This gentle cleaning method helps preserve the natural fibers and colors.

Avoid Steam or Dry Cleaning: Steam and dry cleaning can damage the delicate hemp and goat hair fibers. Always choose professional hand-washing to maintain the rug's integrity.

Spill Management:

Immediate Action: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the liquid deeper into the fibers.

Avoid Adding Liquids: Do not add water or cleaning solutions to the spill, as this can cause moisture migration in the horizontal fibers, potentially leading to damage.

Severe Stains: For severe stains, consult an Oriental rug specialist. They have the expertise to handle delicate vintage rugs and can prevent further damage.
