- Is a hand-knotted wool rug worth it over a machine-made one?
- Hand-knotted wool is denser and generally outlasts machine-made rugs, which is why it costs more. If you want a rug for a bedroom or living room that will hold up for years, it is the sturdier choice.
- Does the high pile make it hard to clean?
- High pile traps more dust and needs regular vacuuming, ideally with the beater bar off. It is not the best pick for homes with heavy shedding pets or for high-traffic hallways.
- Can I use this rug outdoors?
- No. It is made for indoor use only. Wool absorbs moisture and will degrade if left on a porch or patio.
- Will the rug shed?
- New wool rugs often shed loose fibers for the first few weeks. Vacuum gently and the shedding usually settles down.
- Does it need a rug pad?
- A pad is recommended. It keeps the rug from sliding, adds cushioning under the high pile and helps protect the wool backing.
- How do I clean it?
- Vacuum regularly and blot spills right away with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a wool-safe method or a professional rug cleaner.
