Morocco is renowned for its vibrant, intricately crafted rugs. The array of colors and fascinating designs boasting bold geometric patterns make Moroccan rugs one of the most sought-after trends in the industry today. Every piece represents a unique sliver of history, evoking true folk art that can be cherished for generations to come.

Spot Cleaning Moroccan Rugs:

If your rug has become damp due to an accident or pet stain, start the cleaning process by blotting it with paper towels. Sprinkle some baking soda on top of the spot without delay and let it sit for several minutes – this will help draw out as much moisture from the affected area as possible. Afterward, use a vacuum cleaner over that particular section.

• To keep your rug looking lustrous and free of dust, regular vacuuming is essential. It is a great way to remove unwanted dust, dirt, and debris. Hang the rug on a clothesline and use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust.
• Sprinkling a pinch of baking soda to eliminate any unpleasant smells.
• Avoid drying your rug in the dryer as this can cause wrinkles or damage its fabric.
• To ensure the product’s longevity, keep it in a dry environment and avoid storing it in a bag.
• For optimum results have your mat professionally cleaned.
