Washable Wool Rugs

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.

Use a low powered vacuum cleaner regularly.

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

Never pull a thread.

Keep away from fire.

Lorena Canals is the person behind the firm that bears her name, together with a great team. Extremely creative and very committed to the design of sustainable and solidary products, her practical sense brought her to create the first washable rug in the world.

Her obsession for details, quality, and originality, makes the brand one of the most innovative, launching new collections and renewing its catalog every year.

All pieces are handmade one by one using natural raw materials and non-toxic dyes by a crew of expert artisans in their factory in India. As a result their pieces are zero waste and save water.

Through their Sakûla Project, a nursery in the north of India they help to educate the children of the factory's craftswomen.

There are currently 120 children attending the school and counting. Their teachers are in direct contact with them to suggest continuous improvements—from new textbooks to new backpacks or renovations to the school.
