Whether you’re living with color, texture, or tradition, a little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your Berber Handicraft rug soft, clean, and looking its best—no stress.
Rug Care Basics (Quick Tips)
• Shake your rug outside every month to loosen dust.
• Blot spills right away—never rub.
• Use a vacuum on low suction, with no beater bar or brush.
• Rotate your rug every few months for even wear.
• Lay a rug pad underneath for cushion and longer life.
How to Deep Clean Your Rug
1. Vacuum gently (top and bottom) to remove loose dirt.
2. For spot cleaning, use lukewarm water and a small amount of gentle, clear soap.
3. Test any cleaning solution on a corner first.
4. Blot stains with a clean white cloth—never scrub.
5. Hang your rug outside to air out (but avoid direct, harsh sun).
Removing Stains (What to Do)
Blot up as much as possible with a clean cloth. Mix a little clear soap in water, blot, and repeat. Don’t soak.
Let it dry, then gently brush off. Vacuum up the rest.
Blot right away. Use a mix of water and a little white vinegar.
Always blot, never rub. If you’re unsure, just ask us.
