Care
To ensure the longevity of your rug, it is important to follow proper care instructions. Here are a few tips:
- Vacuum clean: Mohair is a soft and luxurious natural fiber, but it is also prone to tangling and matting. Use only the suction function and no bristles. When vacuuming a mohair rug, it's best to use the gentlest setting possible and avoid going over the same area multiple times, as this can cause the fibers to become tangled and matted. Vacuum only in the direction of the piles and not back and forth.
- Rotate the rug: To avoid uneven wear and fading, rotate your rug every 3-6 months.
- Place rug protectors: Place rug protectors under heavy furniture to prevent flattening.
- Trim loose threads: To prevent any damage to the rug, it is recommended to cut any loose threads with scissors rather than pulling on them. This will help maintain the integrity and appearance of the rug.
- Protect from direct sunlight: Sunlight can fade the colors of your rug, so be sure to keep it out of direct sunlight
- Spot clean spills immediately: If a spill occurs, act quickly to clean it up. Gently blot the stain to remove as much of the liquid as possible with a white cloth or paper towel. Use a clean damp cloth and a mild soap solution to remove the spill. Make sure to test your cleaning solution on an unseen area first before using the cleaning solution on the entire rug. Avoid using harsh chemicals, as they can damage the fibers. Gently rub in the direction of the piles. Avoid circular movements as it will damage the fibers of the rug. Rinse the area, removing any remaining cleaning solution and blot again using a clean cloth or paper towel. Do not use a hair dryer, as the heat can set the stain. Instead, allow the area to air dry completely.
- Wash by hand: If your rug is in need of deep cleaning, you may hand wash your rug using a wool detergent and cold water. Gently wring after wash and lay on a flat surface for drying. Avoid direct heat sources. We recommend dry cleaning on the surface with hair by a specialist in rug care.
