    Thank you for your inquiry. Below is the care instructions from the manufacturer:

    Vacuuming: Routine vacuuming with a high quality vacuum cleaner is the most important thing you can do to maintain the beauty of your rug.

    Vacuum thoroughly and frequently with a canister vacuum (preferably one without beater bars). This prevents permanent damage by keeping soil particles from working their way deep into your rug.

    Rugs placed in high traffic areas of your home or office should be vacuumed more frequently.

    Never vacuum the fringes of your rug, especially a hand-knotted rug.

    Cleaning & Removing Stains: Act quickly following a spill to keep a permanent stain from setting into your rug.

    For liquid spills, use a clean cloth and press firmly around the spill to absorb as much as possible. Do not rub! This can set the stain deeper into the rug, making it harder to remove and increasing the likelihood that it will re-appear.

    Stains – make a solution of water, white vinegar and mild detergent. Mix and gently apply just the foam that rises to the top of the solution to the stained area. Finish using a clean cloth to absorb/remove any residue.

    For harder to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
