- Clean on low power with a non-rotary vacuum or suction attachment (no spinning brush) only. Use a high-quality rug pad to absorb shock and reduce damage to the pile. Hot tip: when you receive your rug, put it in the dryer for 10 minutes on low heat to remove any creases. When it's time for a deeper clean, machine wash your rug with like colors on a delicate setting with 1 TBSP of unscented, clear detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry low; remove promptly. For sizes 6'x9' and 8'x10', we recommend using an 80-lb washing machine, for 9'x12' rugs we recommend a 100-lb washing machine. These larger sizes require a commercial washing machine, the kind you'd find at a laundromat rather than a home washing machine, which tends to hold 20-25 lbs. For sizes 10'x14' and above, spot cleaning is best. Be sure to wash rugs according to their recommended washing machine size capacity. Please note: failure to adhere to size recommendations could result in damage to your machine. A slight shrinkage of up to 5% can be expected for all washable rugs. The first few times you wash your rug, there will be some fluff left in the washing machine. Don't be alarmed; this will lessen and ultimately stop. The yarn continues to open after washing, making the rug fluffier with time. Due to the hand-crafted nature of our rugs, you can expect to see light shedding, matting, and signs of fiber and thread breakage over time. For high traffic areas, these effects may occur more quickly and easily. Spot cleaning instructions: Lightly dampen a paper towel or cloth with clean water. Gently blot the affected area with your damp towel or cloth to dilute the stain. If the stain persists, try using an unscented, citrus-free, clear soap to avoid bleaching the textile. Repeat this process until the stain is removed
