Jute Rug Care Made Easy: Tips to Keep Your Raha Rug Looking New
Caring for a jute hand woven rug is easier than you think! With the right maintenance, your Raha Looms London handwoven jute rug can last for years while adding eco-friendly style to your home. Here's how to keep it looking fresh and beautiful for the long haul.
1. Regular Vacuuming: Keep It Clean and Fresh
The natural fibers of jute can trap dust and debris over time. Regular vacuuming is essential to maintaining your rug’s appearance and durability. Be sure to use a vacuum without a beater bar to prevent damage to the fibers.
2. Avoid Excessive Moisture: Keep It Dry
Jute is a tough natural fiber but is sensitive to moisture. Exposure to water can lead to mold or mildew, so it’s important to keep your jute mat dry. In case of spills, blot immediately with a dry cloth to absorb moisture and prevent staining.
3. Rotate Your Rug: Prevent Uneven Wear
To ensure even wear, rotate your natural fiber rug every few months. This helps balance foot traffic, preventing one area from becoming more worn out than others, and extends the rug's lifespan.
Bonus Tip: Protect from Sunlight
If your rug is placed in direct sunlight, consider using window coverings to prevent fading over time. While jute is durable, excessive sun exposure can cause colors to fade.
By following these simple care tips, your Raha jute rug will stay in top condition for years, providing sustainable beauty and durability to your home.
