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
