Cleaning

• 

  Bamboo Silk

  • Avoid scrubbing your rug when you are cleaning. Instead start with a damp towel and blot the area with the spill or stain.
  • If the stain is stubborn then use a soft hand brush and gently stroke in the direction of the pile while blotting every few strokes.
  • Try not to go in a circular motion
  • Use a hair dryer on cool setting to dry wet areas or use salt on the damp area then vacuum the following day

• 

  Cocoon Silk

  • Never saturate or soak silk rug with water- this will damage the silk fibres, and potentially your floors
  • Use only cold water if necessary to avoid shrinkage
  • If spills occur blot immediately then spot clean with mild soap and cold water
  • Do not use oxygen cleaners on your silk fibres
  • For best results, periodic professional cleaning is recommended and encouraged to protect silk fibres

• 

  Handspun Jute

  • Clean regularly to keep jute looking good long term
  • Vacuum regularly to keep dirt from getting trapped in fibres
  • DO NOT steam clean or wet, as natural fibres are highly absorbent and may cause shrinkage
  • Suction cleaning or dry extraction cleaning is recommended

• 

  Machine Made Polypropylene

  • Dampen the area with a wet sponge, using as little liquid as possible. Blot with a cloth, then sandwich the stain between two towels and stand on top briefly to remove excess water.
  • Use dishwashing detergent to cut through any greasy marks.
  • Lift more stubborn stains with baking soda and white vinegar. Sprinkle a little baking soda on the stain and use a cloth dipped in white vinegar to dab and clean.
  • Can be steam cleaned

• 

  New Zealand Wool

  • Use only cold water when cleaning wool to avoid shrinkage
  • If spill occurs, blot immediately, then clean up with mild soap and cold water
  • Do not use oxygen cleaners on your wool rug
  • Use salt to soak up liquid spills (i.e red wine) and then vacuum

• 

  Premium Linen

  • To spot clean use a light-coloured cloth and be careful not to rub. Most linen rugs will come clean simply using water and cloth.
  • For stubborn stains sprinkle baking soda on the stain and add a few drops at a time of vinegar. Blot the stain with a paper towel to soak up the moisture.

• 

  Recycled Bottle PET

  • Shake rug out to remove surface dirt and dust
  • Avoid scrubbing your rug, instead spot clean spills by blotting with a wet sponge and mild detergent
  • Do not scrub or rub as this will only force the stain deeper into the rug
  • Do not steam clean

•

  • If spill occurs, blot immediately, then clean up with mild soap and cold water
