Hand-Tufted Rug Care For Your Shelby Finds Wool Rug

-
Water: Big no. These babies loathe moisture. It’s a rug, not a towel.
-
Shedding: Totally normal. All hand-tufted wool rugs do it. After 20–25 vacuums, things calm down.
-
Sunlight: The African sun is ruthless. Direct rays = fading. Unless you’re going for the “vintage fade” look, keep it shaded.
-
Wrinkles: Just unrolled it? Give it a week or two to settle. Or reverse-roll it like a pro.
-
Loose threads: Don’t pull. Snip. Always snip.
-
Spills: Blot gently. No tumble dryers. No washing machines. Your rug is bougie and intends to stay that way.
-
Furniture: Dragging is a crime. Lift it, Hercules. Your rug will thank you.
