A Berber rug is a unique handcrafted piece, hand-woven with natural wool. To preserve its beauty and durability, here are some practical maintenance and cleaning tips.
🧹 REGULAR MAINTENANCE
To prevent dust buildup and prolong the life of your rug:
* ✅ Vacuum gently once a week (avoid using a rotating brush).
* ✅ Air out your rug regularly by exposing it to sunlight for a few hours.
* ✅ Shake it out lightly outdoors to eliminate small dust particles.
🧴 STAIN REMOVAL
* Act immediately: Blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth to absorb the liquid.
* Use a mild solution: Mix lukewarm water with a bit of gentle soap or white vinegar.
* Avoid harsh chemicals: These can damage the natural fibers.
* Dry quickly: Let your rug air dry; avoid hair dryers or direct heating.
🛁 DEEP CLEANING A BERBER RUG
For a thorough cleaning, here is the best method:
* ✔ Wash with cold water using natural soap (such as black soap).
* ✔ Brush gently in the direction of the fibers with a soft brush.
* ✔ Rinse thoroughly with clean water and squeeze out excess water without twisting the rug.
* ✔ Dry in the sun on a flat surface to prevent deformation.
📌 WHAT TO ABSOLUTELY AVOID:
* ❌ Washing machines (too aggressive).
* ❌ Strong chemical detergents.
* ❌ Indoor drying without proper ventilation.
💡 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR RUG LOOKING NEW
* 🔹 Protect from heavy furniture to avoid pressure marks.
* 🔹 Rotate the rug every 6 months for even wear.
* 🔹 Use a non-slip rug pad for added comfort and protection.
