The Weaver FAQ's

Answers to your questions about The Weaver’s Rugs.

Care & Maintenance

Care and Maintenance

What are the most common problems people face with rugs and carpets?

The most common problems people face with rugs and carpets include shedding, which is especially noticeable in new carpets. At The Weaver, we understand that shedding is a natural characteristic of carpets made with staple or spun yarn in a cut pile. This occurs due to foot traffic and regular vacuuming as the carpet settles. While this may seem concerning, it’s a normal and temporary occurrence. Over the first few months, shedding will significantly reduce, and your carpet will only shed minimally throughout its lifetime. With The Weaver’s bespoke rugs, you can enjoy lasting beauty and comfort, designed to stand the test of time.

Rugs and Carpet

How should I clean my rug regularly?

To maintain your rug, vacuum it at least once a week to remove dust and debris. For a deeper clean, use a vacuum with adjustable height settings. Avoid using the beater bar on delicate rugs; instead, opt for a handheld vacuum or an upholstery attachment to protect the fibers and preserve the rug’s quality. Regular care like this ensures your rug stays clean and beautiful for years to come.

Clean My rug

 Can I wash my rug at home?

We recommend having your rugs professionally cleaned to prevent damage. Hand-knotted or silk rugs should never be immersed in water, as this can harm their delicate fibers and craftsmanship.

How do I store my rug properly?

To store your rug properly, start by cleaning it thoroughly and ensuring it is completely dry. Roll the rug instead of folding it to prevent creases. Wrap it in a breathable fabric like cotton to protect it and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid plastic wrapping, as it can trap moisture and lead to mildew.
