Flat-Woven Rug Care

Flat-woven kilims are light, reversible and hard-wearing — easy to care for.

  • Flip it every few months — flat-weaves are reversible, so alternating sides evens out wear.
  • Vacuum with suction only (no beater bar); smaller pieces can simply be shaken out.
  • Blot spills right away; for stains use mild soap and cold water.
  • Lay flat to dry — never wring or hang a wet flat-weave.
  • Add a thin rug pad to keep it from sliding on hard floors.
  • Hand-wash cold if needed; only machine wash when the maker explicitly says it's safe.
