Care Instructions for Hand-Made Rugs

We use 100% wool in our hand-made rugs. The better you take care of them, the longer they will bring beauty to your space. Check out our tips below for a longer Studio Potato rug experience!

Vacuuming:

• Vacuum regularly but use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or set it to the highest pile setting to avoid damaging the fibers.
• Vacuum both sides of the rug to prevent moths and other pests.
• Please be careful with the fringes, avoid vacuuming over them to prevent splits.

Spot Cleaning:

• Attend the spills immediately with a clean, white cloth and avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and damage the fibers.
• Use mild, pH-neutral soap and cool water or white vinegar for spot cleaning. Test in a small area first.

Professional Cleaning:

• Give your rug to a professional cleaner every 1-3 years, depending on its usage.
• Please be sure that the cleaner specializes in hand-made rugs. Most of the time we encounter color leaks or shrinks due to wrong cleaning techniques.

1. Avoid Sunlight: Protect your rug from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
2. Padding: You can use a quality rug pad to prevent slipping. Pads also help maintain the rug’s shape and provide extra cushioning.
3. Storage:

• If you wish to store your rug, clean it thoroughly and roll it with a covering cloth. You can also fold your kilims, yet this might cause folding marks.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. You can also use odor-free mothballs to prevent unwanted chews!

Care Instructions for Recycled Machine-Made Rugs

Our double-sided recycled machine-made rugs are made with recycled cotton fibers. These rugs are more durable and washable.

Vacuuming:

• Vacuum regularly on both sides to remove dirt and maintain the rug’s appearance.
• Change the sides from time to time to ensure the rug’s longevity.

Cleaning:

• Attend the spills immediately with a clean, white cloth and avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and damage the fibers.
• You can use a mild detergent and water mixture for spot cleaning but please avoid harsh chemicals.
• You can wash your rug in a washing machine, in gentle cycle.

General Tips

Heavy Furniture:

• Place furniture pads under heavy items to prevent crushing the rug fibers.
• Move furniture occasionally to prevent permanent indentations.

Protection from Pets:

• Keep pets’ nails trimmed to avoid snagging the fibers.
• Clean any pet accidents immediately to prevent staining and odor.

1. Regular Inspection: Periodically check for signs of wear, damage, or pest activity.
