Vacuum with low pressure to preserve original sheen. Stains may be spot cleaned by blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth, or take to a professional rug cleaner. Do not pull loose ends, clip with scissors. Color fading can occur if exposed to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. Rotate the rug regularly to avoid areas of uneven wear. Use rug protectors under legs of heavy furniture to avoid flattening piles. Use of an anti-slip pad is recommended. Not machine washable.
