General Guidelines

• Never use bleach, ammonia, or harsh chemicals.
• Always test clean products on a hidden area first, we recommend the bottom part of the border.
• Let rugs air-dry if wet, or apply a cool fan—never fold or roll while damp.
• Natural materials may carry a slight, temporary scent. Use baking soda-based deodorizer if needed.
• Avoid hot objects or open flames near the rug.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Vacuuming

• Vacuum twice a week with the brush turned off and suction on low.
• Avoid vacuuming borders and never use stiff-bristled brooms.
• A soft broom or gentle sweep is ideal for dust removal.
• After vacuuming, if necessary, pat the surface with a damp towel to lift excess dirt.

Sunlight & Furniture

• Natural fibers may fade with direct sun exposure. Rotate your rug periodically.
• Always lift furniture—never drag—to prevent fiber and metal distortion.

Loose Threads

• If a fiber or metal thread loosens, do not pull. Gently trim with sharp scissors and tuck the end into the weave.

Each VERDI rug is handwoven in Colombia and takes 16–22 weeks to craft, depending on design and customization.
