Caring for your Moroccan rug is simple! For regular maintenance, we recommend gently vacuuming it 1-2 times a week (use a suction-only attachment, without a beater bar) and air it outside every few months. For minor spills, act quickly by blotting the area with a clean, dry cloth. If needed, use a small amount of water and a gentle soap. For deep cleaning, we strongly recommend seeking a professional rug cleaner who specializes in wool carpets to preserve the rug's natural fibers and vibrant colors for years to come.
◈ Vacuum Regularly → Use a low setting without a beater bar to protect the fibers. ◈ Blot Spills Immediately → Use a dry cloth for stains, gently dab with mild detergent and cold water. ◈ Protect from Moisture → Avoid excessive humidity and use a rug pad to extend its lifespan. ◈ Prevent Fading → Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight. ◈ Rotate Every Few Months → Ensures even wear and longevity. ◈ Fluff Maintain → If fibers flatten, gently brush with a soft-bristle brush. ◈ Deep Clean → Opt for professional hand-washing every 5 years or as needed. ◈ Sunbathe Monthly → If practical, let your rug in the sun occasionally. Sunlight's UV rays work as natural deodorizing and microbe protection. ◈ Avoid Harsh Chemicals → They can damage the natural wool fibers.

Beautiful rug, very high quality. Adds so much colour to my living room, and had so many compliments on it. I’m a very happy customer, can’t recommend Surcoma enough if you are after a beautiful Moroccan rug that adds so much character to your live space.
The rug is lovely. Looks great, feels great. My dogs love it. And it does NOT shed. Seriously! When it's vacuumed the fibers come up, as usual, but there's not shedding from the rug around the apt. It's bright and lightens the room.
Love this rug! So unique and adds a lot of character to the room. Also, it’s dog approved as you can see by the picture. Would order a rug from Surcoma again!
We love our rug! We got the 9x12, it's so gorgeous, thick, soft, and a perfect mossy green color. I love the striped border detail, and we had ours custom made with no tassels. It's so amazing, I'm so happy with it! It doesn't shed, but the vacuum definitely gets full when we vacuum it. We vacuum it most days since crumbs can show up because it's a darker color, but we have kids so we vacuum every day anyway. I'm super happy with this purchase! Seems like it'll age really well, I hope to keep it for a long time! Also very pleased with the quick communication, seems like a great company!
This rug is excellent quality and exactly like the photos! I was hesitant to order a Moroccan rug without seeing it, but this exceeded my expectations. I’d definitely shop here again.
Love my new kitchen rug! Yasmina was so kind to assist me in selecting the perfect rugs for my space. The colors are perfect and super soft on my feet. Will definitely make more purchases for my clients. MD Interior Design Santa Barbara, California
I love my new rug!!! It’s such a cool and unique piece and I will have it for a lifetime :-) thank you so much. I love the selection of rugs you have, it was hard to choose!! Arrived very quickly too. Here it is at home in my new lounge room, making the space very special. ❤️
This morning a beautiful “work of art” arrived all the way from Marrakesh to Australia. The colours are magnificent-so vibrant and the rug is super soft and beautifully clean. I am in awe of this stunning creation and will treasure it forever. Thank you Yasmina and Brahim. I am super impressed by the ease of communication even though I am across the other side of the world and by the speed of delivery. My rug was dispatched so quickly and arrived exactly on the date predicted. This is my first rug purchase and I will definitely buy another rug from Surcoma and happily recommend their company to prospective purchasers.
What a gorgeous rug. I use it to make cozy and help partition my "home office". It's super well-made and robust, but not stiff - it's actually very soft. I love sitting/standing on it and my cat does too. It's actually quite easy to vacuum as well, which surprised me. Probably the highest praise I can give it: my cat has already barfed on it twice, but it was super easy to clean and the color didn't come up with the enzymatic cleaner.
This shop has the finest selection of rugs in Morocco if not the world. I am delighted with my rug. It is in a great condition and described accurately on the listing. Excellent customer service from Yasmina. I look forward to making another purchase soon. Thank you.
Although there were some issues with shipping and a bit of a long waiting time for the rug to be made and delivered to the seller, it was totally worth it. The rug is so beautiful with high quality. The communication with the seller was good, and I got a fast response when asking questions Big thanks to Yasmina.
I am absolutely in love with my new rug! It’s even prettier in person. I can’t stop looking at it and all the little details and colors in it. Shipping was fast and the rug was well packed. Thank you so much, Yasmina! My only problem is that now I want to order more and more rugs lol. I truly love it!
I am so happy to have amazing pieces of Moroccan Culture at my home in Switzerland! Kyo totally approved the quality of the rug too! Very fast shipping, only took 3 days to arrive.
I purchased multiple rugs from Surcoma Shop. I really appreciate the effort and all the processes that went into each rug. Very professional sellers, easy to communicate with! You can buy from them the eyes close! Highly recommend!!!
I absolutely love this rug and they left a special hand written note that makes me so happy. Will be ordering another rug from this shop💛 so special and beautiful
