FAQ
How can I take care of my rug?
We recommend unpacking the rug once it’s delivered. This will help minimize any creases or marks from the rug being rolled up. The rug will need to settle for a few days before any crease is removed from the shipping process.
Washing and spot cleaning
To extend the life of your rug, have it professionally washed once a year. In Morocco, the families shake the rugs outside weekly to clean them. This is the traditional and easy way you can replicate in your own home.
If you ever need to spot clean your rug, do so as soon as possible with lukewarm water and a little natural soap. If the stains are stubborn, we recommend using professional cleaning service.
Vacuum cleaning
Romaisas rugs are made from 100% natural wool fibers, this means, they will shed. Regular vacuuming of your rug at home in the first couple of weeks will help reduce shedding and eliminate it completely over time. Vacuum your rug in a side-topside motion to protect its fibers.
Feel free to flip the rug and vacuum the reverse side to get anything that is deep in the piles as well.
Rotating your rug
In our homes, sunlight can effect the coloring on fabrics and furniture, including rugs. We recommend you to rotate your rug every 3 months to help maintain an even shade.

Will my rug be exactly as shown in the pictures?
Moroccan rugs are in general more beautiful than shown on a monitor/display.
However two rugs can never be the exact same. Natural wool has an intriguing way to dance in with the sun light and mesmerize you every time. It's beauty that can't be captured.
Also keep in mind that each phone/computer has different screen settings so the colors are likely to look not the exact same.
Each rug is made entirely by hand so there will always be variations in pattern and color, but we strive to accurately capture the detail and color so you know what you are getting.

Shipping heavy and big packages in general is costly. Some of our rugs weigh over 28 kg. Within the European Union we chose to include shipping costs and insurance in our prices. So within the EU shipping is on us. For shipping outside the EU, shipping costs are calculated at check out.
