From construction and materials to colour, sizing, customisation, care and production — explore the knowledge behind a bespoke rug.
DIY machines risk oversaturating fibres, which damages hand-knotted and natural material rugs. If you choose to use a machine, use it sparingly on low-moisture settings. We recommend professional cleaning as the safest approach, especially for investment rugs.
Hand-washing (gentle water rinse) is traditional and effective for wool rugs. However, it’s labour-intensive and risks damage if done incorrectly. Professional cleaners have controlled systems. Silk and delicate rugs should be professionally cleaned. We guide you on what’s safe for your specific rug.
Flatweaves and dhurries are robust and reversible, so they’re easier to care for. Wash gently if you like, or use professional cleaning. They dry quickly. Less fussy than pile rugs, so they’re popular in high-traffic homes. Regular vacuuming is still important.
Wool-silk blends are popular for their balance. Wool is forgiving; silk is delicate. Together, they’re reasonably durable if cared for gently. Professional cleaning is safest. Avoid bleach or strong chemicals. Vacuuming direction matters—follow the pile for gentler care.
