Hand-Knotted Rug Care

Hand-knotted rugs are heirlooms — treated well, they last generations.

  • Vacuum gently on low suction with the beater bar OFF — a rotating brush pulls at the knots and fringe.
  • Rotate 180° every 3–6 months so wear and any sun-fading stay even.
  • Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth — never rub or scrub.
  • Use a rug pad underneath to cut friction, add cushioning and stop slipping.
  • Keep out of prolonged direct sun to protect the natural dyes.
  • Deep clean every 3–5 years by a professional rug washer — avoid home steam cleaners.
  • Air it out and vacuum the back occasionally to deter moths.
