Rug FAQs

• How can I clean my rug?

  To prolong the life of your rug, we recommend getting it professionally cleaned and reading our care guide. 

  
  

   When vacuuming, use a low setting without rotating brush. To keep the colour looking fresh, keep out of direct sunlight. 

  
  

   Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Clip any snags, do not pull through. 

  
  

   Some shedding is normal during the initial months of use. Give your rug a gentle shake to maintain its best appearance.

• What's the best rug material?

  Jute is a textured natural fibre with an organic, rustic feel. Jute rugs are very hardwearing, making them a practical choice for high-traffic rooms like hallways as well as sunny rooms, as they don't fade easily.
  
  Wool is a natural fibre that’s stain, water and flame-resistant, making it a great material for rugs. When blended with cotton, wool rugs are soft under foot and durable, with textural depth and natural variations in tone.
  
  Cotton is a soft, natural fibre with a lighter look and feel. Cotton rugs are easy to clean, making them a good choice for kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms.

• How are 78zin rugs made?

  Most of our rugs are handwoven. The weaving process can be very time consuming, requiring a huge amount of skill and focus. To start, the loom is threaded up with the horizontal thread (weft) and the vertical thread (warp). This allows opposite threads to be moved up and down at different times, so weft threads can be trapped inside. Simple stripes can be created by pulling a weft thread in and out of this warp, whereas more complex designs require pulling the weft threads only through certain sections of the warp.
