Vacuum weekly with low suction and a brushless head. For fringes, use a soft handheld brush. Dusting before washing preserves pile and dye.

Blot immediately with white towels. For water-soluble spills, dab with cool water and mild pH-neutral soap; rinse and blot dry. Avoid rubbing or heat.

Use a high-quality pad to add cushion, prevent slip, and reduce wear. Choose felt + rubber for hard floors; felt for large rugs over carpet.

Rotate seasonally and use window coverings. Natural dyes mellow gracefully; rotation keeps tones even.

Keep rugs clean and in use. For storage, roll with pile inward and wrap in breathable tyvek or cotton (not plastic). Inspect quarterly for activity.
