- Does this rug shed?
- Yes, hand-tufted wool rugs typically shed loose fibers for the first few weeks. Regular vacuuming without a beater bar speeds this up, and shedding usually settles after that.
- Can it go in a bathroom or kitchen?
- It is labeled indoor only and wool absorbs moisture, so it is a poor fit for wet rooms. It suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas instead.
- How should I clean it?
- Vacuum regularly and blot spills right away with a damp cloth and mild wool-safe cleaner. It is not machine washable, and deep stains on ivory wool are best left to a professional.
- Do I need a rug pad?
- A pad is recommended. It keeps the rug from sliding on hard floors, adds cushioning and helps the wool pile last longer.
- Is it a good choice with pets?
- Wool is durable, but the light ivory color shows accidents and the pile traps pet hair. Homes with puppies or frequent accidents may do better with a washable synthetic rug.
- What size room does a 5x7 fit?
- A 5x7 works well under a coffee table in a small living room, beside a bed or in a dining nook. Measure your furniture footprint first so the rug extends beyond the seating area.
