Use and Care Manual

FIRST THINGS FIRST
Lay down your rug and place it under
furniture as usual. Walk around and
get comfortable! Your rug may not lie
completely flat at first. No worries! It
should relax in a week or so.
Shag rugs: Run a wide toothed plastic
comb (or your fingers) through the
fibers in a gentle upward motion to get
that nice, fluy texture.
Synthetic rugs: If needed, air out
your rug either outdoors or in a
well-ventilated room. Also, note
that a slight sheen is normal, giving
the look and feel of natural silk.
Minor Color and
Size Variations
Our rugs are individually crafted by
skilled artisans. Colors may vary
slightly depending on the angle
and lighting. Because it is hand cut,
your rug might have some slight
variations in dimension as well.
Shedding: It’s Temporary
Shedding is normal for shag and hand-
tufted rugs at first, and will decrease
over time. Vacuum often using a low or
upholstery setting. Turn o the rotating
brush and raise to its highest setting.
Spills 101
A party isn’t a party until something
gets spilled on the rug. Here’s what
to do when the inevitable happens.
All rugs
1. Cover the spill with a clean cloth and
blot the spill. Repeat with a dry towel
until completely absorbed.
All rugs except for natural fibers
(jute, sisal)
2. Use a drop of carpet shampoo or
clear hand-dishwashing liquid to
make a soapy solution. Wet your
cloth with this solution and continue
to blot the stain. Then blot with plain
water and let air dry.
