Tapestri™ Rug Care & Maintenance
JUTE | OTHER NATURAL FIBER RUG
It is normal for jute and other natural fiber rugs to “sprout”. What may seem to be a pulled thread is really just a yarn whose fibers have separated at a point, or “sprouted”. Sprouting is common with natural fibers, such as jute, that are made up of shorter fibers. This is not a defect but an inherent quality of certain natural fiber rugs. Simply clip the sprout that has popped up with a sharp scissors.
Vacuum as needed with suction only—a beater brush is not recommended.
Spot clean with a damp cloth. You may use a solution of mild dish soap and water but test the solution in a small, inconspicuous area of the rug to be sure there is no discoloration.
For liquid spills, blot—do not rub—with a clean, dry, absorbent cloth.
If you choose to clean the rug yourself we recommend Host®, which is a highly rated dry extraction carpet cleaning system which works very well with all rugs. Please see the following links for more information on this product including where to purchase it.

SILKY SHAG RUG | PAPER SHAG RUG
Rug should be fluffed up when first unrolled as it will initially be matted down.
Minimal, initial shedding is normal and will diminish over time.
Vacuum as needed with suction only—a beater brush is not recommended because it may snag and pull the long shag tufts. If you cannot disable the beater brush or raise it higher than the shag pile you should only use suction attachments.
Professional cleaning is recommended—especially for difficult stains or heavily soiled rugs. Your professional cleaner should know that the rug pile of the Silky Shag is 50% rayon made from bamboo (which is a cellulose fiber) and 50% cotton; the rug pile of the Paper Shag is 50% recycled paper, 25% viscose and 25% polypropylene. The backing of each rug is made from natural latex and cotton.
