How to care
Caring for your felt ball rug is easy. They're naturally strong as the felted wool is springy and resists wear and tear. The protective waxy coating of 100% wool forms a natural protective barrier against dirt and stains. Shake out your rug and vacuum it regularly using just the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner to ensure dust and dirt don't settle into the fibers of the felt balls. Be careful of using bristly vacuum cleaner heads, as you may accidentally fuzz up your felt balls. Do not use your felt ball rug in a wet area.
Generally, you can remove dirt by vacuuming for more stubborn dirt and light stains; you can dab at the mark with mildly soapy water.
If your prized felt ball rug is accidentally stained, get onto it immediately. Blot the stain but don't rub it, as you might rub it further into the wool. Diluted white vinegar can work for more stubborn stains. Still, please be careful not to use concentrated vinegar or leave your diluted solution on for too long, as you might inadvertently bleach the colors. If you get mud on your rug, let it dry completely and then remove the bulk with a blunt knife before vacuuming the rest of the dirt away.
For a very, very dirty rug, please contact a professional carpet cleaner, advising them to use low-pressure water to avoid any color dilution.
