All rugs should be vacuumed regularly.  It is not advised to use a beater brush while vacuuming your rugs. Professional cleaning is recommended every 1-3 years depending on use/traffic.

Here is a great guide with videos to provide you with more details for caring for your wool carpets – https://www.rugknots.com/blogs/professional-cleaners/how-to-clean-a-wool-rug 

Hemp rugs, as with any other rug/carpet, should be vacuumed regularly.  An upholstery attachment brush can be used on hemp pillows, floor cushions and poufs.

Spot cleaning is recommended for any spills, stains, etc.  For dried soil such as dirt, crumbs, etc., use a stiff brush to remove any soil that “stuck” and.  For liquid or oil spills, blot as much of the spilled liquid as possible with a cotton towel.  You can use plain water to blot out the spot.  If needed, a gentle natural stain remover can be used, but do so at your own risk, and follow the instructions for your particular brand of stain remover. Try testing on a hidden spot to make sure your stain remover doesn’t discolor your textile.  

When in doubt, consult a professional rug cleaner who is familiar with vintage Turkish hemp.  

Depending on the amount of traffic your rug experiences, it is recommended to have your rug cleaned ever 1-3 years by a professional rug cleaner that is familiar with how to wash natural fibers like hemp.

Note: If you have a spill on a cushion cover, be sure to remove your pillow inserts and clean them too!  Follow the directions on your inserts for washing.

If you are in the Los Angeles area, I highly recommend Babash Rug Services. They are a small, family owned boutique rug cleaning business that provides exceptional service.  I have entrusted them with many of my rugs, hemp and wool alike, and have always been very happy with the quality of service.

At HOME, we use cruelty-free feather inserts to fill the floor pillows and poufs. Our inserts use eco-cotton that not bleached with chlorine, and are filled with cruelty free duck feathers.  

Another sustainable vegan option is to use kapok pillow inserts.  Kapok has great “loft,” and is environmentally and allergy friendly. If it is in your budget, kapok inserts are the way to go!

Medium Floor Pillows are stuffed with four 20″ pillow inserts.  If you want less fill you can try four 18″ inserts.  If you prefer an extra full look, try adding a fifth 20" insert in the center.  Please be particularly mindful when zipping over-stuffed floor cushions.

Large Floor Pillows are stuffed with four 26″ inserts.  If you prefer a low-profile look with less fill, use two 20″ inserts and two 26″ inserts.  If you prefer an extra full look, try adding a fifth 26" insert in the center.  Please be particularly mindful when zipping over-stuffed floor cushions.

Flour Poufs can be stuffed with three 26″ inserts for a more “slouchy” or relaxed look, or four 26″ inserts for a more full, structured look.  When using the poufs as a dog bed, we tend to choose three inserts.  When using the poufs as seating for people, we fill them with four.

HOME offers custom rugs and other textiles made from vintage hemp remnants. The turn around time for custom textiles such as pillows, poufs, runners, etc. is usually 4 to 6 weeks. Custom rugs can take anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks to complete depending on the size, color, and finishes. The time of year also plays a large part in turn around time.  All of our rugs are made and dyed using old village traditions, and therefore can only be dyed during the dry months which is typically April through September.
