FAQs
What is a kelim rug?
A kelim is a type of flatwoven rug traditionally made in Anatolia and surrounding regions. It is created by interweaving the warp and weft threads, resulting in a durable, reversible rug without a pile.
Is this rug suitable for a kitchen?
While the flatweave design is easy to clean, it is best suited for living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. For kitchens, consider its placement and ensure spills are cleaned immediately due to the natural materials.
How do I clean a jute and cotton rug?
Regularly vacuum with a suction-only attachment. For spills, blot immediately. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution and blot gently. Avoid machine washing or soaking the rug.
Can I use this rug outdoors?
This rug is designed for indoor use. Exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, and outdoor elements can damage the natural fibers and cause fading.
What does 'reversible' mean for this rug?
Reversible means the rug can be used on either side. Both sides feature the same pattern, allowing you to flip it for a fresh look or to distribute wear evenly.
How thick is the pile of this rug?
The Roya Afghan Kelim Rug has a low pile height of approximately 3 mm.
Will the colours bleed if the rug gets wet?
While natural dyes are used, it's recommended to blot spills immediately. Excessive moisture could potentially cause some color migration, so avoid saturation.
Troubleshooting
Rug not lying flat after unrolling
Allow the rug 24-48 hours to settle naturally. You can also try placing heavy books on the corners for a few hours or gently rolling the rug in the opposite direction of the creases.
Color fading in certain areas
Avoid placing the rug in direct, prolonged sunlight. Rotate the rug periodically to ensure even exposure and wear.
Fringes becoming tangled or damaged
Keep fringes clear of vacuum cleaner beater bars. Gently brush or comb the fringes to keep them neat and untangled.
Increased shedding or fiber release
Initial shedding is normal for natural fiber rugs. Vacuum regularly (without a beater bar) and the shedding should decrease over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
To set up your Roya Afghan Kelim Rug, unroll it carefully upon arrival. Due to its flatweave nature, it may initially have creases or not lie perfectly flat. Allow the rug to settle naturally for 24-48 hours in its intended location; this will help it flatten out. For optimal appearance and to prevent slipping, consider using a rug pad, especially on hard floors. The rug is compatible with most floor types, including hardwood, tile, and laminate.
Care:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly without a beater bar to remove surface dust and debris.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, blotting gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
- Rotation: Periodically rotate the rug to ensure even wear, especially if placed in a high-traffic area.
- Fringes: Keep fringes clear of vacuum cleaner beater bars to prevent damage. Gently brush fringes to keep them neat.
