Hand-Knotted Oushak Rugs
Materials & Craftsmanship
Each Oushak rug is hand-knotted using 100% natural wool, selected for its durability, softness, and natural warmth. The colors are created using natural, vegetable-based dyes, giving the rug depth, character, and a beautifully refined texture.
Because every rug is handmade using traditional techniques, subtle variations in color and weave are part of its authentic charm.
Caring for Your Oushak Rug
Your hand-knotted Oushak rug is a timeless piece, crafted with centuries-old weaving traditions. With proper care, it will age gracefully and remain beautiful for generations.
🧹 Regular Care
- Vacuum gently once or twice a week using low suction
- Avoid rotating brushes or beater bars, as they can damage delicate knots
- Rotate the rug every 6–12 months to ensure even wear and balanced color exposure
🌞 Light & Placement
- Keep the rug away from prolonged direct sunlight to prevent natural dye fading
- Use a rug pad to reduce friction, prevent slipping, and support the rug’s foundation
💧 Spill & Stain Care
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth
- Never rub, as this can spread the stain and damage the wool fibers
- If needed, use mild soap with cold water only
- Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaning agents
🧼 Deep Cleaning
- Professional rug cleaning is recommended every 2–3 years
- Always choose a cleaner experienced with hand-knotted wool rugs
🐛 Storage Tips
- Roll the rug (never fold it), with the pile facing inward
- Store in a cool, dry place, wrapped in breathable cotton fabric
- Avoid plastic wrapping, which can trap moisture and cause damage
