Good to know

We photograph our rugs in real rooms and natural light, so you see them as they are. Screens vary, so if you’d like a video or more photos before you decide, just ask.

Preferably sweep with a stiff straw broom. Vacuum only lightly, in the direction of the pile, not against the grain.

  • Turn it and use it upside down for a fortnight every spring.
  • Move furniture a few centimetres every few months.
  • Spills: wipe or scrape off the excess, then sponge with cold water, but not to excess. Suds from a eucalyptus wool wash are fine. Always sponge inwards. Lift and turn the wet area over until dry.
  • Never leave a rug on the floor wet, and never put pot plants on it.

Don’t be too precious. Our rugs are pure top-grade wool and virtually indestructible; there are many antique rugs still going strong today. Just stay natural, with no modern chemical cleaners or machines, and return your rug to us for a complete wash every few years.

PS Some rugs enjoy a picnic!

Yes. Call ahead and we’ll have it ready for you at our Bangalow showroom, 11 Byron St.
