Know before you buy
No, this rug is not machine washable. We recommend spot cleaning for minor spills or seeking professional cleaning services to maintain the integrity of the wool fibers.
The rug does not have a built-in non-slip backing. We strongly recommend using a separate rug pad to keep the rug securely in place and to provide extra cushioning.
This rug is designed for indoor use only. It is not treated for outdoor conditions and should be kept in a dry, interior environment to prevent damage.
Because the rug is constructed with a consistent braided pattern on both sides, you can flip it over whenever one side shows signs of wear. This effectively doubles the life of the rug.
Wool is naturally durable and features inherently soil-resistant yarns, making it easier to maintain than many synthetic alternatives. Regular vacuuming without a beater bar is usually sufficient for routine care.
