Kusa Washable Wool Rug

While the Kusa rug is designed for easy maintenance, we recommend following the specific care instructions provided with your rug. Generally, for washable wool, use a gentle cycle with a wool-safe detergent and air dry to maintain the integrity of the fibers.

The high pile provides a plush, cozy feel, but it does require a bit more attention than a flatweave. We suggest using a vacuum on a high-pile setting or a suction-only attachment to keep the rug clean without damaging the hand-knotted fibers.

It is normal for new hand-knotted wool rugs to shed slightly during the first few months as loose fibers from the construction process work their way out. Regular, gentle vacuuming will help minimize this and the shedding will naturally subside over time.

The Kusa rug is durable due to its hand-knotted construction, but its high pile makes it best suited for living rooms or bedrooms where you want maximum comfort. For high-traffic entryways, you may find that a lower pile rug is easier to maintain.

We highly recommend using a rug pad with the Kusa. A pad will prevent the rug from sliding on hard floors, provide extra cushioning, and help protect the backing from wear, extending the life of your rug.
