FAQs
What material is the rug made of?
The rug is made of 100% New Zealand wool with a 100% cotton backing.
How should I clean this wool rug?
Regularly vacuum without scrubbing. Use a damp duster or cloth for spot cleaning if necessary. Avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep cleaning.
Can this rug be used as wall art?
Yes, the rug is designed to be versatile and can be hung on the wall as a decorative art piece, inspired by ethnic drapes and wall tapestries.
What are the dimensions of the rug?

Is the rug suitable for children with allergies?
New Zealand wool is naturally hypoallergenic, but individuals with severe wool sensitivities may react. It's always best to consider personal allergies.
Will the rug shed?
Some shedding is natural for new wool rugs. Regular, gentle vacuuming will help manage loose fibers, and shedding typically reduces over time.
Can I use this rug with underfloor heating?
Yes, it is generally safe for use with underfloor heating, but prolonged direct heat exposure should be avoided to maintain the wool fibers' integrity.
Troubleshooting
Rug is not lying flat
Ensure the rug has had adequate time to settle after unrolling (24-48 hours). You can also try placing heavy books on the curled edges for a period. Using a rug pad can also help flatten the rug.
Shedding observed
Some shedding is normal for new wool rugs. Vacuum regularly (without scrubbing) to manage loose fibers. The shedding should decrease over time.
Stain appears on the rug
Blot the stain immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Use a slightly damp cloth for further cleaning, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
Rug feels rough or flattened
This can occur with excessive friction or improper cleaning. Ensure you are only vacuuming lightly and avoiding scrubbing. Professional cleaning may be needed for severe flattening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Care Instructions:
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug without scrubbing. Use a standard vacuum cleaner on a low setting. This helps remove dust and dry particles.

- Deep Cleaning: For more thorough cleaning, professional rug cleaning specializing in wool is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Sunlight: Position the rug away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent color fading.
