Care Instructions

Spot Clean First

Swift attention to spots maintains your rug's beauty between complete washes. Simply blot with a clean, damp cloth and wool-specific detergent – avoiding harsh rubbing.

Vacuum Gently

Use soft brush attachments only, avoiding stiff bristles that may compromise the fibres. For high-traffic areas, simply increase the frequency of gentle vacuuming while maintaining a delicate touch.

Using Gentle Detergent & Cold Water

Select pH-neutral, wool-specific detergents for washing – avoiding harsh cleaning agents such as bleach and fabric softeners. Cold water and a delicate cycle help preserve the quality of New Zealand Wool.

Natural Air Drying

Swift attention to spots maintains your rug's beauty between complete washes. Simply blot with a clean, damp cloth and wool-specific detergent – avoiding harsh rubbing.

Understanding Shedding

Our New Zealand Wool rug will naturally release some loose fibres during its first 3-4 months – a characteristic of premium wool that gradually diminishes over time. This process, common in high-quality wool rugs, doesn't affect your rug's durability or luxurious texture. Our innovative anti-shed treatment ensures minimal shedding while preserving the wool's natural excellence.

Commercial Washing Machine Guide

We recommend using a front-loading washing machine only for all New Zealand Wool rugs for the best results. Fibres can snag in top-loading washing machines, which can lead to matting, increased shedding and overall wear over time.
