Tappeti Rug Cleaning: Instructions for your hand-crafted rug

  • Some vacuum cleaners on the market have an additional motorised head, which can increase fluffing of the pile. It is recommended that the additional motorised head not to be used as this can increase surface friction.
  • Clean spills promptly with a cold undyed damp cloth.
  • Periodic professional cleaning recommended. Tappeti recommends when you enlist the services of an external party ensure that the process does not involve any steam cleaning, as moisture can affect the pile of your rug. The rugs are to be dry-cleaned only.
  • Shedding will occur and sprouts of yarn may come up to the surface during initial use. Clip with sharp scissors.

  • To ensure your Tappeti rug remains a valuable part of the look and design of your property, keeping it clean is a priority. We recommend external cleaning to maintain and extend the life of your rug for commercial use at least twice per year.
  • For high traffic areas we recommend regular periodic cleaning several times per year. Tappeti recommends when you enlist the services of an external party ensure that the process does not involve any steam cleaning, as moisture can affect the pile of your rug. The rugs are to be dry-cleaned only
