About 100% Cotton

As you're probably aware, cotton is a natural fibre that comes from the cotton plant and grows commonly all over the world. It is a renewable and eco-friendly material that is easy to clean and maintain. Compared to wool, it is a less durable material due to its softer fibres and therefore, cannot take the pounding that wool Rugs can. However, cotton Rugs do offer an unparalleled feeling of softness, comfort and warmth. And cotton bares one important quality that wool Rugs cannot offer. It is completely machine washable!

Care Instructions

• Machine wash (capacity 6kg (XS) or 9kg (M)) separately using a delicate, 30ºC program without whitening
• Use a mild detergent, and do not use softeners
• Select low centrifuge speed if the rug has braids, fringes or pom poms. Do not leave the wet rug in the washer, as colors may run or stain
• Tumble dry at low temperature
• Avoid drying in the sun
• Don't worry if lint appears, as this is residue fibre produced from cutting the cotton. During the first few days, it is advisable to sweep the rug with a hard brush in the direction of the plush, and then it is recommended to use the vacuum cleaner. We do not recommend the use of robot vaccum cleaners
• Should you find any long or loose threads, cut these using a pair of scissors. Never pull a thread
• Keep away from fire.
