Your rug is made of 100% sheep wool, plant dyed and woven by hand on family looms. Wash it gently and only when necessary.

​

1. Choose natural products to avoid bleeding the plant dyes from the wool. Do not choose a petroleum-based cleansing product! It will take the life out of the wool.

 

2. *Do not use a brush to scrub*, the bristles of the brush can tangle with and pull on some wool fibers. Use a cloth. 

 

3. Pour a dilution of a quarter cup of GENTLE soap mixed into 1 bucket of fresh water (8-10 liters) and evenly distribute onto the rug.

 

4. Use your cloth to softly scrub the rug in one direction.

 

5. After scrubbing the rug with a soap mixture, pour a new mixture of 1 tbsp white vinegar to 1 bucket of fresh water, evenly distribute onto the rug, and softly scrub again.

 

6. Do one more final rinse/scrub with pure fresh water. DO NOT dip the rug into water, pour water over the rug only what is needed.

​

7. Hang the rug to dry in the sun. *Take your environment into consideration before getting your rug wet*: If living in a cold environment, the lengthened time it would take to air dry your rug could cause irreversible mold spots to form. Wait until a time of the year when you have enough daylight and warmth for drying time.
