CLEANING ADVICE
We recommend that the rug is cleaned by a professional cleaner, using the extraction method on a flat surface. The quantity and temperature of the water will depend on the material and pile length. Good ventilation during the drying process is essential. Shrinkage will be about 3–5%. Kasthall’s rugs are not to be machine-washed or drycleaned.

CARE ADVICE HAND TUFTED RUGS
To further extend the lifetime of your rug, Kasthall recommends a regular maintenance so that the rug may retain its shape and appearance. If you have a light, single-colour rug you will need to care for it more often than a darker, patterned rug. Thorough vacuum cleaning is the best, most economical and environmentally friendly cleaning method. Beating or shaking a rug may damage the fibers. Note that it is quite normal for the rug to lose individual fibers when used, these are excess fibres and it does not affect the general quality of the rug. If you want to get rid of excess fibres faster, you can vacuum the rug daily for an initial period. It is most efficient to vacuum the rug one direction at a time. Remember that hand tufted rugs in linen are sensitive to water, so take particular care with the amount of water you use when removing stain
