- Is the Lalita rug soft enough for a living room?
- It is a flatweave with about a quarter inch of pile, so it is firmer than a plush tufted rug. Most people find it comfortable over a pad, and it works well under furniture.
- Does this rug shed?
- New Zealand wool hand-knotted rugs typically shed loose fibers for the first few months. Regular vacuuming without a beater bar settles it down.
- What size is the Lalita rug?
- This listing is 6 feet by 9 feet. Check your room's furniture layout before ordering, since a 6x9 leaves narrow borders in larger living rooms.
- Do I need a rug pad with it?
- Yes. A pad adds cushioning, keeps the flatweave from sliding on hard floors and helps protect the wool backing.
- How should I clean a hand-knotted wool rug?
- Vacuum regularly and blot spills right away with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a wool-safe cleaner or professional rug cleaning rather than a washing machine.
- Is it good for homes with pets?
- Wool resists stains, but the light tones and flat weave can trap pet hair. It is workable with frequent vacuuming, though darker or synthetic rugs are easier to maintain.
