GRACELAND RUG
GRACELAND RUG
Designed by Paolo Zani, 2022
Rug in wool and viscose, rich in contents, typical of the jaquard technique derived from that of fabrics with elaborate

PRODUCT CARE
Vacuum regularly. Sweep the carpet surface 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 areas, we recommend the service of a professional cleaner. In the first months of use the loss of fluff due to manual finishing is normal.
