Vacuum regularly. Rug sizes 5'x8' and smaller are machine washable. Wash separately, using cold water and a mild detergent. For best results, use a washing machine sized 4.2+ Cu. Ft. or larger. Do not bleach. Hang or lay flat to dry; do not machine dry. Due to size, we recommend either spot cleaning rug sizes 6'x9' and 8' x10' or having them professionally cleaned in an extra-large capacity washing machine. Please note: if your rug arrives folded, it may take up to two weeks for any creases to relax.
