Know before you buy
Yes, this rug is rated Contract Grade, meaning it has been tested to withstand rigorous use. The hand-tufted wool construction is durable enough for high-traffic areas, though regular maintenance is recommended to keep it looking its best.
No, this rug is designed for indoor use only. The 100% wool material and latex backing are not weather-resistant and should be kept away from moisture and direct outdoor elements.
This rug requires professional cleaning only. Because it is made of 100% pure wool, standard home cleaning methods or machine washing can damage the fibers and the latex backing.
The fibers are yarn-dyed, which helps lock in color and ensures the blues remain vibrant over time. While wool is naturally resistant to fading, it is always best to avoid placing the rug in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods.
While the rug features a durable synthetic latex backing that helps it stay in place and reduces odor, we still recommend using a rug pad. A pad provides extra cushioning, protects your flooring, and prevents the rug from shifting on hard surfaces.
A luster wash is a finishing process that gives the wool a softer, more refined sheen. It enhances the rug's texture and makes the colors appear slightly more sophisticated and polished.
