Rugs & Care
We make our rugs to order to avoid waste and overproduction, it’s better for the planet and means each piece is made just for you. Your rug ships directly from our makers in India to your door, keeping our carbon footprint small. Every rug is handcrafted from natural, eco-friendly materials and designed to be easy-care, durable, and beautiful for real family life.
Yes, our standard size rugs (140x200cm, 160x230cm, and 150cm round) can be washed in a conventional machine.
Larger made-to-order rugs are very heavy when wet, so we recommend either professional cleaning or taking the rug to your local laundromat. Each rug comes with a reusable carry bag, which makes transporting it much easier.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of laundry detergent (standard sizes only)
Use a dryer at your local laundromat for best drying results
Vacuum once dry to bring softness back
Spot clean spills immediately with a damp cloth (no harsh chemicals)
Yes, shedding is normal at first because our rugs are made from pure cotton. This will settle over time. To help:
Always use a rug underlay, this reduces shedding and absorbs shock
Vacuum lightly once a week (avoid strong brush settings)
A cold wash cycle and dry can also help speed up the process.
Rugs can develop folds during shipping. These will relax naturally after a short time. Using a rug underlay, placing furniture on the corners, or rolling the rug the opposite way can help speed this up.
No, the underlay is an optional add-on, but we highly recommend it. You can choose one for carpet or hard floors, and you’ll receive 50% off when buying it together with a rug.
Every rug comes with a reusable branded carry bag for easy storage or transport. Care products, such as underlays and lint rollers, are available separately in our Care section.
