What are the benefits of a hand-crafted rug from India?
This rug is hand-crafted with pride in India, a region world-renowned for its centuries-old tradition of rug weaving. Choosing a hand-crafted piece means you are getting an item with a level of detail and character that machine-made rugs cannot replicate. The use of 100% New Zealand wool in this specific construction ensures a high-density finish that is both luxurious to the touch and built for long-term durability.
Is a wool rug durable enough for a high-traffic home with children and pets?
Yes, this rug is specifically designed for high-traffic environments. It is hand-crafted from 100% New Zealand wool, a premium natural fiber known for its exceptional resilience and ability to bounce back after being compressed. The dense, plush pile provides a soft landing for children and pets, while the inherent oils in wool offer a natural level of stain resistance that synthetic fibers often lack.
Is a 5x7 rug a good size for an urban apartment living room?
A 5' x 7'6" rug is an ideal choice for smaller living spaces or urban apartments. Its dimensions are perfect for anchoring a compact seating arrangement or grounding a coffee table. By leaving a border of visible floor around the edges, this size helps define a specific zone without overwhelming the room, which can actually make a smaller space feel more open and organized.
How do I properly clean and maintain a 100% wool rug?
To preserve the integrity of the natural fibers and the hand-crafted plaid pattern, our care guide recommends spot cleaning only. Spills should be blotted immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a mild detergent. You should never place this rug in a washing machine, as the agitation and excess water can damage the wool pile and the cotton backing.
Why is my new wool rug shedding, and how can I manage it?
Shedding is a common and natural characteristic of high-quality wool rugs and is not a sign of a defect. It occurs when small, loose fibers work their way to the surface. Based on our expertise with natural textiles, this shedding will gradually dissipate over time. We recommend regular vacuuming with a suction-only setting or a raised beater bar to manage the fibers while the rug settles into your home.
Does this rug require a rug pad if it already has a cotton backing?
While the built-in cotton backing is designed to help prevent some sliding and shifting, we still highly recommend using a separate rug pad. A quality pad provides an extra layer of cushioning, protects your flooring from the rug's underside, and ensures the rug stays firmly in place. This is especially important for safety in high-traffic hallways or when placing the rug on smooth surfaces like hardwood, tile, or laminate.
