Rug Care Guide

A Kapetto rug is crafted to last generations. With the right care, its beauty only deepens with time.

Cashmere Care

  • Vacuum gently using low-suction setting, no beater bar
  • Vacuum in the direction of the pile
  • Rotate every 6 months for even wear
  • Professional cleaning recommended (avoid home steam cleaners)
  • Blot spills immediately with clean, dry cloth (never rub)
  • Avoid prolonged direct sunlight

Wool Care

  • Vacuum regularly on medium setting
  • Initial shedding is normal and diminishes within months
  • Rotate quarterly for even wear
  • Professional cleaning annually
  • Spot clean with mild, pH-neutral detergent and cool water
  • Naturally stain-resistant due to lanolin coating
  • Flat-weave wool (Yuka) can be shaken outdoors periodically

Jute Care

  • Vacuum regularly on low setting
  • Avoid excessive moisture (jute absorbs water readily)
  • Blot spills immediately with dry cloth
  • For wet spills, apply baking soda to absorb moisture, vacuum when dry
  • Use a rug pad to cushion fibers and prevent slipping
  • Will soften naturally with age and foot traffic

General Principles

  • Use a Rug Pad: Prevents slipping, reduces wear, allows air circulation
  • Rotate Regularly: 180 degrees every 3-6 months for even wear
  • Act Quickly on Spills: Blot immediately, press gently, work outside-in
  • Professional Cleaning: Once a year with a cleaner experienced in natural fibers
