Unique Loom Jill Zarin English Manor Farmhouse Blackberry RugHandmade rugs should be treated more carefully than machine made rugs due to the artisanal nature in which they are created. Shedding is common in wool rugs. When vacuuming use without a beater bar or one where you can set the bar to the highest pile setting. If your vacuum has variable power settings, set on low. Spot clean stains immediately with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and blot dry. Rotate for even wear.
