Vacuum regularly using vacuum cleaner without a beater brush and a low power setting, to prevent debris from settling into the roots of the fibers. Do not pool loose ends. Clip them with scissors to remove. Attend to spills immediately. For spot cleaning, apply water in very small amount; do not saturate. If applying cleaning solvent, test in a small inconspicuous area before using. For general maintenance or stubborn stains, use an experienced cleaning service that specializes in hand made rug. Do not dry clean. Harsh chemicals may damage or fade rugs. We recommend using a rug pad. Rotate or reposition your rug every 3-6 months to promote even wear on the rug surface and extend the life of the rug.
