A handmade and carefully designed product.

Our products are 100% natural fiber based. The reason why the rugs can have lint falls after the first washes. This will be reduced as you aspire the rug (low-to-moderate intensity).

Washable cotton rugs, blankets and floor cushions.

We recommend you to use the practical cotton bag when storing your cotton rug or taking it to the laundry.

Never use an airtight plastic bag.

Before using, we recommend putting the rug in the dryer to take out the wrinkles of being folded.

Machine wash (capacity 17lbs/8kg or more) separately using a delicate, 86ºF/30ºC program without whitening.

Use a light soap, and do not use softeners.

Do not leave in the machine once the wash has finished, as the colors may run or stain other parts of the rug.

Dry in the dryer at a low temperature.

Avoid drying in the sun.

Don't worry if lint appears, as this is residue fiber produced from cutting the cotton.

During the first few days, it is advisable to sweep the rug with a hard brush in the direction of the plush, and then it is recommended to use the vacuum cleaner.

Should you find any long or loose threads, cut these using a pair of scissors.

Never pull a thread.

Keep away from fire.
