Each Black Sheep rug is a unique work of art. These care instructions will help preserve its beauty and artisanal quality for generations to come.
Carefully open the packaging to avoid damaging the rug.
Lay the rug flat on a surface and allow it to acclimate for 1-2 weeks, letting the fibers relax.
A simple vacuuming once a week is adequate to care for the rug. (The high lanolin content of the wool, the rugs naturally repel stains and moisture.)
If/when the rug becomes soiled, simple soap and cold water with hand-washing is recommended.
You can use a brush to help to remove it.
Dry cleaning with a local cleaner that deals with rugs.
Do not put in the dryer.
Rotating/flipping your rug will even the wear and tear and give it a longer life.
Use protective pads under furniture legs.
Roll the rug with the fiber side inward.
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pests.
