Sagasa Charcoal 5' x 7'6 Rug

This rug’s high-low texture is not only a stylish design feature but also a practical one for active homes. The varying pile heights create a multidimensional surface that helps mask minor footprints and small debris between cleanings. Additionally, the hand-hooked construction is generally more durable against pet claws than traditional looped piles, though we recommend a quality rug pad to prevent the rug from shifting during play.

Some shedding is a normal and expected characteristic of high-quality, handmade wool rugs. It occurs as loose fibers from the hand-hooking process work their way to the surface. To manage this effectively, vacuum the rug at least twice a week using suction only. Over time, the shedding will naturally subside as the rug settles into your home environment.

Wool is a breathable, natural fiber that adapts well to various environments. In drier climates, its natural moisture-retention properties help prevent the rug from becoming brittle. In humid or coastal regions, wool can naturally absorb and release moisture from the air; however, to prevent any mildew concerns, ensure the rug is placed in a well-ventilated room and consider using a breathable rug pad to promote airflow beneath the material.

Wool is a premium, sustainable fiber prized for its natural resilience and soft feel. Unlike synthetic materials, wool possesses a natural elasticity that allows the fibers to "bounce back" after being compressed by furniture, ensuring the rug maintains its shape over time. Furthermore, wool's natural structure makes it inherently fire-resistant and provides excellent insulation, adding both safety and warmth to your living space.

A 5' x 7'6" rug is a highly versatile "mid-size" option that excels in smaller living rooms or urban apartments. In these spaces, it perfectly anchors the room when placed under the front legs of a sofa or centered beneath a coffee table. It is also an ideal choice for a bedroom, where it can be positioned horizontally under the lower two-thirds of a queen-sized bed to create a soft, balanced landing area.

Based on our expertise with natural fibers, we recommend vacuuming this rug regularly using suction only. It is critical to avoid using a vacuum with a beater bar, as the rotating brush can agitate and pull the hand-hooked wool fibers, leading to premature wear. For accidental spills, immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. To preserve the rug's integrity and appearance over the long term, professional cleaning is recommended periodically.
