Care for your woven rugs and pads
These handmade pieces will serve you well for years if cared for properly:
Weekly care
- Take outside and give a good shake to loosen dust and refresh the fibres.
- Avoid vacuuming, as this can disturb the fibre structure.
- Use a natural moth repellent if moths are common in your home.
Washing
- Fill a tub with lukewarm water (max 30 °C).
- Add a gentle wool or silk detergent with low pH.
- Submerge the rug or pad, swish gently, then soak for about an hour.
- Rinse with cold water. Refill the tub with cold water plus a splash of vinegar (restores wool’s natural pH and removes residue). Optional: add a few drops of lavender, cedarwood, or tea tree oil to deter moths.
- Drain, press out excess water, then lay flat or hang to dry.
- Once dry, gently separate the locks of wool with your fingers if needed. Do not brush.
