Arcton Charcoal 5' x 7'6 Rug

To preserve the integrity of the hand-crafted fibers, we recommend vacuuming without a beater bar or on the highest carpet setting. High-suction vacuums with aggressive brush rolls can pull at the wool fibers and cause premature wear or "sprouting." For best results, use suction-only vacuuming to remove dust and debris from the dense pile while protecting the rug's refined plaid pattern.

Yes. The dense, plush construction of this 5' x 7'6" rug makes it an effective solution for urban soundproofing. The thick wool fibers and cotton backing work together to absorb sound waves, reducing echoes within your room and dampening the vibration of footsteps for neighbors below. Its scale is perfectly suited for defining a seating area in a standard apartment living room or home office.

Some shedding is a natural characteristic of high-quality, 100% wool rugs and is actually a sign of the material's authenticity. For this hand-crafted New Zealand wool rug, initial shedding is common but will dissipate over time with regular care. Because wool is a resilient, long-staple fiber, it is known for exceptional durability and can last for decades, often outperforming synthetic alternatives in both texture and longevity.

This rug is an excellent choice for high-traffic areas. New Zealand wool contains natural lanolin, which acts as a protective barrier against spills and soil. Additionally, the charcoal plaid pattern is strategically designed to mask pet hair and minor debris between cleanings. The rug features a cotton backing to provide extra stability, helping to prevent the sliding and shifting often caused by active children or pets.

Because of wool's natural water resistance, you have a "golden window" to act before a spill reaches the core of the fiber. Our experts recommend blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth—never scrub, as this can force the liquid deeper into the pile. For stubborn spots, spot clean with a mild detergent and cool water. This rug should never be placed in a washing machine, as the agitation and heat can damage the hand-crafted wool construction.

Choosing a 100% New Zealand wool rug is an investment in a "healthy home" environment. Wool is naturally flame-retardant and VOC-free, unlike many synthetic fibers. It also acts as a natural humidifier, absorbing and releasing moisture to help regulate indoor air quality. This makes it an ideal material for bedrooms or nurseries where air purity and safety are top priorities.
