How to care for my rug?
Your rug is made of wool, and maybe just a bit of polyester pulled through a burlap base. All materials have been washed and dried in a machine washer and dryer before the rug was built. It can be (and has been) vacuumed to remove dust. IIt can be spot cleaned as you would clean a garment made of these materials.

How can I really clean my rug?

First, shake off any loose dirt. The best way to clean a handmade rug is to put it face down in dry snow, brush more snow on top of the rug and let sit for 20-30 minutes. Brush off the snow, shake it well, and beat any remaining snow off with a broom or rug beater.

 

How long will my rug last?
A well-cared for rug can be passed on for generations. Keep it clean and out of direct sunlight to reduce fading.
