How to clean a Moroccan rug

Care and cleaning

A Moroccan rug is a long-term investment that can be passed down generations. These berber carpets were designed to last as long as proper maintenance is taken.

 

 

To preserve a Moroccan wool rug in perfect condition and if there are stains, target problem areas with a mild detergent solution and cold water. Avoid using aggressive cleaning chemicals because it may damage and fade the rug. Laying a towel on the rug and carefully blotting away excess moisture will speed up drying. Use a gentle brushing stroke to highlight the fibers inherent sheen. If any lingering scents persist, consider using a mild vinegar solution or baking soda. If practical, time to time, let the rug airing a few hours in the sun. Sunlight's UV rays work as a natural disinfectant, killing germs, mold, and dust mites. It can also help remove odors from rugs, particularly if they got excessive moisture or have absorbed bad smells.

Newly made rugs might shed, this is totally normal. Regular vacuuming and the use of a rug pad will alleviate the problem.
