Handwoven kilim rugs are beautiful, but proper maintenance ensures they last for years. This guide covers step-by-step cleaning and care tips for Australian homes.

Regular Vacuuming & Rotation

Vacuum on low suction weekly to remove dirt and dust. Rotate rugs every 3–6 months to prevent uneven wear.

Spot Cleaning Tips

• Blot spills immediately.

• Use mild detergent and water.

• Avoid scrubbing to protect fibers.

Avoid Sun Damage

Use Rug Pads

Non-slip pads protect floors and prevent rugs from moving.
