Boucle finish: Keep away from rough surfaces or velcro, which can snag the looped texture.

Natural Fibre Rugs
Shake out & beat gently
Turn over periodically
Do not vacuum
Hose down & wash cold
Drape to dry, fully
Reversible — use both sides
Washing: Lay flat outdoors, soak thoroughly, then wash with cold or lukewarm water and a wool-friendly detergent using a soft brush or broom. Rinse thoroughly. Never use hot water.
Stains: Act quickly — wet the area with cold water, apply a wool-friendly detergent, gently blot, then rinse thoroughly before it dries.
Settling in: Light creasing from transport and a slightly uneven surface after washing are both normal, and will settle within a few days of use as the fibres bed down.
Poly Rugs
Hose down to clean
Scrub if very dirty
Air dry over furniture
Indoor & outdoor safe
No machine wash
Hard-wearing & durable
Everyday care: Simply hose down to keep clean — no delicate handling needed, this range is built for high-traffic and outdoor use.
Deep clean: If it gets very dirty, wet the rug, sprinkle with washing powder, scrub with a stiff brush, then hose off and leave to dry over garden furniture.
Mohair is tough by nature — it's what kept our animals warm through Karoo winters long before it became your blanket. With a little care, it'll outlast most things in your home.
Everyday care
Shake it out and air it in the shade every few weeks. Mohair is naturally resistant to dust and odour, so it needs less washing than you'd think.
Washing
Hand wash in cool water with a gentle wool detergent, or dry clean if you'd rather not risk it. Never wring it — press the water out gently and lay flat to dry, away from direct sun.
Bouclé finish
The looped bouclé texture can snag on rough surfaces or velcro — keep it away from anything that might catch the loops. A light brushing with a soft-bristle brush keeps the texture looking full.
Brushed finish
Brushed mohair sheds a little in the first few uses — this is normal and settles down. Shake it outdoors before its first wash.
Storage
Fold rather than hang, store somewhere dry, and avoid plastic bags — mohair needs to breathe. A cotton storage bag or pillowcase works well.
