Wool from the Guilds of High Peak Estate are of premium weight and quality, minimizing curling and shedding. Amongst the many benefits of wool rugs, it is a natural material that is hygienic, non allergenic, has no harmful gasses and deters the growth of bacteria and dust mites.

Care Instructions

Upon unpacking of your new rug, roll it out and allow it to air for a day or two in a dry beezy location. A thin layer of natural latex inbetween the wool and cotton backing may emit a temporary odour that will go away from the airing process
It is unlikely but if any fibers should come loose, snip it with scissors. Do not pull
Brooms and sweepers are a great, gentle way to clean your rug
When using a vacuum, use the handheld attachment without the rotating beater bar on
For spills, blot immediately with a clean white cloth or towel. Never rub a spill as doing so will force the spill deeper into the wool fiber
For heavier spills or stain, use a solution of diluted vinegar and water (1:10 parts) or a diluted wool cleaning liquid. Remove residual cleaner with clean water and absorb remaining moisture with a dry towel
To fully clean a wool rug, use a professional cleaning expert
Rug pad is recommended to prevent slippage
