FAQ
Q: Is my rug safe to vacuum?  
A: Vacuum your rug regularly (without a beater bar) in order to maintain the life and beauty of your rug. 
This will also help reduce any potential shedding that may occur. Avoid vacuuming fringes/tassels to 
help prevent fraying and destroying the edges. 
Q: Why does my rug look different than the photo? 
A: Rug colors, sizes, patterns may vary slightly depending on how your rug is made and the size ordered. 
Due  to  different monitor  resolutions  and  lighting  you may  notice  a  slight  difference  in  color.   Each 
handmade rug is unique to the artisan who weaved it therefore, size and color may vary slightly in each 
piece. 
Q: Why is the pattern of my rug slightly different than the photo? 
Patterns will be altered slightly and scaled accordingly by size and shape of the rug you choose. 
Q: My rug is shedding, is this normal? 
A: It is normal for new rugs to shed, vacuuming regularly will help reduce this. In shag rugs, a high 
amount of shedding is normal and expected, due to the higher pile in comparison to other rug types. 
This is especially true for wool shag items. In natural fiber rugs, it is common for loose fibers to break 
down and pool underneath the rug surface. In addition to regular surface vacuuming, clean the floor 
under the rug. 
Q: Can I use my rug outdoors? 
A: Unless the rug you choose specifically mentions indoor/outdoor in the title we do not recommend 
using your rug outside as this can result in mold or rug damage. 
Q: Is my rug kid and pet friendly? 
A: We recommend polypropylene or other synthetic material rugs for use with kids and pets. These 
materials are known for their durability and can be easily cleaned in case of spills. Our natural fiber, 
jute, or sisal rugs are not recommended as they require more careful treatment. Hand hooked rugs 
can be hazardous for pets with long nails or claws due to the nature of the weave. Wool rugs may also 
be a risk for pets due to excess shedding and loose fibers posing a potential choking hazard.
