Rug Care & Cleaning
It's completely normal for a new rug to arrive with creases or fold lines from being rolled or folded for shipping. Lay it flat and most creases relax within a few days to a week. To speed things up, reverse-roll the rug or place weighted objects on stubborn spots. More tips are on our Care & Cleaning guide.
Both are normal for a new rug. A slight odor from packaging fades within a few days of airing the rug out in a ventilated room. Shedding is common with natural-fiber and new machine-made rugs; it decreases over the first few weeks with regular low-suction vacuuming (avoid the fringe).
Act fast. Blot the spill with a dry white cotton or paper towel - don't rub, which pushes the stain deeper. Scrape off any solids with a dull edge, then spot-clean from the outside in. Avoid bleach. Step-by-step instructions by material are on our Care & Cleaning guide.
We recommend having non-washable handmade rugs professionally cleaned every 12-18 months, or annually for high-traffic areas. Always use a professional area rug cleaner - cleaning a handmade rug requires a different process than cleaning wall-to-wall carpet.
Choosing Your Rug
Try typing what you're looking for directly into the search bar — it understands everyday language, not just product names. For example: "soft rug for a nursery that's easy to clean," "dark moody rug for my living room," or "blue and gold 8x10 for a dining room." Describe your style, your room, or the problem you're trying to solve, and our AI-powered search will surface the best matches.
The right size depends on your room, furniture layout, and how you want the rug to sit. As a quick guide: for dining rooms, go about 4 feet longer and wider than your table. For king-size beds, a 9'x12' works best. For stair runners, measure your staircase and contact us. Each product page also includes a Rug Size Guide with exact dimensions and room-by-room recommendations.
Our images are as accurate as possible, but screens vary. Patterns and colors may also differ slightly from rug to rug since many are handmade. Each product page includes a "How It Looks in Different Lighting" section. You can also check review photos, use "Try in My Room", or order a sample.
Yes. Most of our rugs have a sample option right on the product page. Samples are final sale, but if you go on to purchase a full-size rug, we're happy to provide a gift card refund for the sample — making it essentially free when you find the right one.
Lengths and widths may vary up to 4% from published dimensions due to manufacturing and rolling. This is standard across the industry and not a defect.
No. Fringe and tassel length are not included in the listed dimensions. For specific measurements, reach out via chat or email.
Rug Pads
None of our rugs have rubber backing. We recommend pairing every rug with a pad — it prevents slipping, extends the rug's life, and adds cushioning. Our pads are safe for pets and all floor types.
Felted Rug Pad — 0.22" thick. 100% felt with rubber backing, made in the USA. The most cushioning. Natural and stain-resistant. Best for a soft, premium feel.
Luxury Grip Rug Pad — 0.16" thick. 100% PVC. Our strongest grip. Ideal for high-traffic areas.
Bavaria Rug Pad — 0.06" thick. 100% PVC. Our thinnest option, great for low-clearance areas or thin rugs.
All pads are free of harmful chemicals. Size your pad slightly larger than the rug and trim to fit, or choose one slightly smaller.

Yes, though outdoor exposure may shorten the pad's lifespan over time.
No. Vacuum on a low setting for dry messes. For wet messes, spot-clean with a washcloth and soapy water, then let the pad dry completely. Rotate every 3 months and replace every 2–3 years.
