Be mindful that furniture will leave indentations on carpets. Chairs and table legs can hook and pull threads out from its weave. Carefully trim these back using scissors. Do not pull loose threads.

Inherent variations in natural fibres, as well as variations resulting from the handweaving process, are to be expected and celebrated. Each item is unique and no two will be exactly alike.

• Vacuum regularly in one direction (not back and forth). This will reduce shedding over time. Routinely vacuum the underside of the carpet, as well as the floor underneath.
• Treat spots and stains immediately to prevent damage.
• Blot liquids (do not rub) with an absorbent cloth.
• Avoid exposure to heat and sunlight.
• Rotate the carpet every three months to avoid uneven fading and wear.

• Jute may 'sprout' during general handling and everyday use. The short plant fibres of jute are especially susceptible to this. Trim loose fibres back to the surface pile using scissors. Do not pull loose threads. After time, the fibres will settle and will require less cutting.
• Jute is sensitive to moisture. Avoid using liquids when cleaning and place in areas where they are less likely to be damaged by spills or excessive moisture.
• Use dry carpet cleaning powder and a vacuum to clean stains. Do not steam clean.

• Hemp may 'sprout' during general handling and everyday use. Trim loose fibres back to the surface pile using scissors. Do not pull loose threads. After time, the fibres will settle and will require less cutting.

• Viscose is sensitive to moisture. Avoid using liquids when cleaning and place in areas where they are less likely to be damaged by spills or excessive moisture.
• Use dry carpet cleaning powder and a vacuum to clean stains. Do not steam clean.

• Treat spots and stains immediately to prevent damage.
• Blot liquids with a dry, absorbent cloth.
• Yearly professional cleaning is recommended.

Polypropylene, in combination with natural materials such as raffia and seagrass, should only be used under cover. Extended periods in direct sunlight can eventually lighten carpets and cause damage to the fibres.

• For polyprolene ONLY carpets, hose down the surface of the carpet to clean away dust and dirt. Avoid using high-pressure.
• Use dry carpet cleaning powder and a vacuum to clean stains. Do not steam clean.
• Avoid exposure to heavy rain or standing water.
• Trim loose fibres back to the surface pile using scissors. Do not pull loose threads.
