Handmade Afghan Wool Rug

Yes, the natural wool construction is inherently durable and resilient, making it an excellent choice for entryways. However, because it is a hand-woven piece, we recommend using a rug pad to prevent slipping and to extend the life of the fibers.

For regular maintenance, vacuum gently without a beater bar to avoid pulling the fibers. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub, as this can damage the wool pile. For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended.

While the dyes used in these artisanal rugs are high-quality, natural wool can fade over time if exposed to direct, intense sunlight for extended periods. To preserve the vibrancy of the turquoise and poppy tones, we suggest rotating the rug occasionally or using window treatments to filter harsh light.

Because each rug is individually hand-woven by Afghan artisans, there may be slight variations in the weave and color saturation. These subtle differences are not defects but are hallmarks of the authentic, one-of-a-kind nature of the craftsmanship.

No, this rug is designed strictly for indoor use. The natural wool and cotton materials are not treated to withstand outdoor elements like moisture, humidity, or direct UV exposure, which could lead to mold or fiber degradation.
