PRODUCT CARE
- Vacuum regularly. Sweep the carpet sur- face with a soft broom or vacuum clean it in the direction of the pile. Blot stains immediately, possibly with very little water, dry instantly with white absorbing cloth and hair dryer.
- If, after the above treatments, you’re not able to remove the stains, or if the rug is placed in heavy traffic public are- as, we recommend the service of a professional cleaner. In the first months of use the loss of fluff due to manual finishing is normal.
