How to clean a Nakambe rug if it gets dirty or stained

To clean a Nakambe rug, use Marseille soap, a soft brush, and water. It is made of 100% cotton, so these products are ideal for a gentle yet effective cleaning.

Is there anything that I have to avoid doing to prevent damaging my rug?

To avoid damaging your rug, avoid leaving it folded for hours, and never fold it while it is wet. Do not let it dry in the sun, and always use a detergent for delicates.

Is my rug suitable for machine washing?

Yes, your Nakambe rug can be machine washed at a maximum of 40°C with a delicate spin cycle up to 800 rpm.

Remember to lay it flat to dry in the shade.

Can I use any type of detergent?

No, it is essential to use a detergent for delicates to protect the cotton fibers and the colors of your rug.

What should I do if the rug loses its shape after washing?

Drying the rug by laying it flat is crucial to prevent warping and creases. If it becomes slightly misshapen, stretch it out carefully while it is still damp to help it regain its form.

If the creases persist, you can try stretching it by firmly pulling opposite edges of the rug; this helps to loosen the crochet knots that may have tightened during the washing process.

Loose threads after washing

 

After washing, you may notice small threads emerging from the edges of the fabric. Please do not worry, as this is a normal occurrence for handmade textile products.
